Abstract:	A lavishly illustrated guide to the world's turtles that looks at every family and genusTurtles of the World reveals the extraordinary diversity of these amazing reptiles. Characterized by the cartilaginous shell that acts as a shield to protect the softer body within, turtles are survivors from the time of the dinosaurs and are even more ancient in evolutionary terms than snakes and crocodilians. Of the 356 species known today, some are highly endangered. In this beautiful guide, turtle families, subfamilies, and genera are illustrated with hundreds of color photographs. Each species profile includes a population distribution map, a table of information, and commentary that includes notable characteristics and discussion of related species.
