You might think research scientists had enough to do with planning, conducting, analyzing, and writing up the results of research projects, teaching, public service, seminars and conferences, and seemingly endless administrative duties, not to mention a home life, to keep them occupied. Despite these responsibilities, however, many professional scientists have gone beyond the workplace to write about the history of their profession or specialty, biographies of colleagues past and present, memoirs of their own careers and adventures, popular outreach print media, and other subjects that have interested them that may be far from herpetology, natural history or even outside the realms of science. To date, there has not been a compilation of these efforts, and the following bibliography seeks to recognize the efforts of herpetologists, regardless of their professional affiliation, in these often related but extracurricular undertakings.
