Book Title: Terrestrial Vertebrates of Pennsylvania: A Complete Guide to Species of Conservation Concern

Author: Michael A. Steele (Editor), Margaret C. Brittingham (Editor), Timothy J. Maret (Editor), Joseph F. Merritt (Editor)

Selection Statement:

Although I study many aspects of natural history, I have spent that last 10 years studying the northern flying squirrel — one of Pennsylvania's endangered vertebrates. This book provides the most recent information about all of Pennsylvania's vertebrates that are declining and may disappear from our state.  The book is valuable resource for ensuring these species long-term protection.
