Turtles of North America begins with an introduction to turtle biology, how they diversified over time and how we classify the groups of turtles that exist today. A section about anatomy details their basic body plan, and how it varies to take advantage of different environments. A section about behaviour covers how they live, from what they eat to what eatsthem, and their importance in the environment.

Fully illustrated species accounts describe the 64 species of turtles that inhabit the continental United States and Canada and the oceans that surround them. For each turtle there are photographs and text that show how to identify each species and give information about its life history. A range map shows where each turtle may be found.

To complete this comprehensive guidebook, numerous additional pages highlight interesting or unusual aspects of North American turtle species and a section about turtle conservation tells you how to protect and support turtles.
