This is an essential buy for any amateur or professional herpetologist with an interest in snakes, and a bargain at the price. This stunning book provides up-to-date information on every facet of the natural history of snakes, their diversity, evolution, and conservation, as well as summarising details of their biology on a global level. Eight chapters are devoted to general biology topics including anatomy, feeding, venoms, predation and defense, social behaviour, evolution, and conservation, and a further eight survey the major snake groups, including blindsnakes, boas, colubrids, stiletto snakes, cobras, seasnakes, and vipers. Details of particular interest, such as coralsnake mimicry and the evolution of the rattle, are highlighted as special topics.
