"A wonderful mixture of natural history, culture, marine biology, and herpetology--Nabhan at his best!"--Mark Plotkin, President, Amazon Conservation Team "Nabhan masterfully moves us to cross-cultural perspectives on the world's ecological issues. In addition to being a unique ethnozoological treatise, this book is about how 'native' cultures engage their natural worlds, of which they see themselves a part. "--Wade C. Sherbrooke, author of "Horned Lizards of North America " "Nabhan has devoted his career to charting times and places that are tragically disappearing, where people and nature lived in intimate ecologies. In this fine book he eloquently documents the rich, complicated ties between the Comcaac (Seri) people and the snakes, turtles, and lizards with which they share a common place. But the book is more than an elegy, it is a vibrant plea to save these people and animals and the stories, myths, and harsh realities that bind them."--Kent H. Redford, Director, Wildlife Conservation Society Institute
