This book is also reviewed in the up coming Iguana from the IIS if you are a member, and you should be-

Havent read it yet. My intial take on it- No pictures! and its $75(with shipping). It looks a lot like an updated Iguanas of the World by Burghardt, I think thats right. Very scientific, loaded with graphs and tables. This is not a casual read unless you like the dry academic stuff. I am sure there is info in the conservation and behavior studies to help a keeper.

The book is great (edited by my boss, so I'm biased), but is mainly academic. Its papers from a symposium on iguanids a few years back in Seattle, with other papers included that were not from there. Very similar to Burghardt's book. Not much of anything for keepers (that will all be in my husbandry manual).
