Reviews

The 15 authors who contributed to this handsome, four color volume discuss the biology, ecology, and geographic extent of serpents, including their physiology, evolutionary trends, reproduction, unique mode of locomotion, habitat, and lifestyle. The usefulness of serpents is highlighted; for example, their venom is often used medicinally. Unwarranted fear of snakes is allayed, snake legends are explained, and human relations with snakes down through the ages are critically reviewed. George Hampton
