"Metamorphosis [is] a thorough and illuminating account of both halves of the double life of amphibians, who live in water and on land. The author’s dual focus [on both larval and adult amphibians] opens up a new realm of information, and new keys to species identification. It will bring a deeper level of understanding to the many naturalists who know the adults well enough, but have limited knowledge of that critical developmental first half of the lives of frogs, toads, and salamanders."
