Reviews
I think this is a terrific book for readers with a variety of knowledge levels...Perhaps the reason [the author] is so successfuland why this is such a terrific bookis because the author is an insider, a professional research scientist who has studied how snakes work for his entire career...I like the encouraging, upbeat style of writing that gets the reader excited about the topics. * Brian I. Crother, Amphibian & Reptile Conservation *
Original and pleasant, filling a vacuum, this book is to recommend in all the libraries. We learned a great deal and our admiration for the serpents and their perfection increases with the reading of each of its chapters. * Ivan Ineich, Bulletin de la Soci^'et^'e Herp^'etologique de France *
There is a particular satisfaction in reading a wellcrafted, richly detailed scientific textbook written by an expert with an obvious passion for his or her subject -- a person who has clearly spent a lifetime immersed in an arcane field, and has the fortuitous ability to draw others in with skillful prose. Harvey B. Lillywhite has produced an exemplar of such a volume. * Rulon W. Clark, The Quarterly Review of Biology *
