Four Centuries of Chameleon Researchers

The keeping and husbandry of Chameleons is not a recent event. Fischer gave a detailed description of the captive care of these interesting lizards over 100 years ago. New translations of his three classic papers along with other historical facts are found in this work. Jim Murphy also includes an extensive gallery of classic chameleon plates, many in color, from the last five centuries.
