Reading Croak: A Book of Fun for Frog Lovers and Remembering Phil Bishop
Croak is a “book of fun for frog lovers”, compiled by Phil Bishop and published by Exisle. Phil was a beloved Zoology Professor at Otago, the Co-Chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission Amphibian Specialist Group, and the Chief Scientist of the Amphibian Survival Alliance.
Phil’s full list of achievements would fill an entire issue of Critic alone. He was one of the foremost experts on frogs in the world, a luminary who discovered new species of frogs and educated people about their importance. He saw potential in the most unassuming of creatures tadpoles and Zoology freshers alike and stood up for them, always. Croak now serves as a tribute to a life spent at the forefront of conservation, as he sought to deepen our understanding of these vitally important amphibians.
