A blue-tailed lizard darting over a log holds more science than you would guess. Henry Fitch followed the five-lined skink through its habitat, growth, temperature needs, and range, building a full ecological portrait from patient fieldwork. A model study of a common reptile. Trace one small lizard's whole life.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
