Princeton. 2005. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0691124361. 150 color plates. 1 map. 160 pages. hardcover. keywords: Snakes Animals Nature Reptiles. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In this comprehensive volume, author Mark O'Shea has combined expertly written, in-depth descriptions of the world's common and exotic venomous snakes, highlighted by previously unpublished gripping accounts of his adventures with snakes, including personal observations and several serious snakebite episodes. The book begins with a description of the anatomies of venomous snakes, along with their diversity and distribution. Also included is a unique in-depth look at the various types of snake venom and the ways that each type attacks the body. A section on anti-venom, including thoughts on the looming anti-venom crisis, is also presented. Information on the adaptations of ocean-dwelling snakes and issues of snake conservation as well as an examination of venomous lizards follow. From bamboo pitvipers to deep-diving seasnakes, and from adders and asps to terciopelos and the massasaugas, this book takes an original approach to examining these enthralling creatures. Rather than the typical taxonomic categorization, the snakes are grouped by geographic location: the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, Tropical Asia, Australasia, and the Oceans. Each section is illustrated with stunning and rare pictures, many of which were taken by the author himself. Suitable for professional snake handlers and armchair herpetologists alike, this extremely accessible book is an enthusiastic celebration of the diversity and beauty of venomous snakes worldwide. FEATURES-Explores the secret world of venomous snakes, revealing their habitats, characteristics, and hunting and feeding behaviors; Contains thrilling details of O'Shea's own encounters with snakes; Provides detailed information on venomous snake diversity, venom types, and conservation; Includes a world map illustrating venomous snake distribution and detailed accounts of more than 170 species; Features over 150 full-color photographs, many of them of extremely rare species. inventory #36064.
