Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Snakes are creatures of mystery, arousing fear in many people but fascination in a few.

One of the leading contributors to that scientific revolution has been Prof Rick Shine.

Spellbinding stories highlight the challenges, frustrations, and joys of discovery, and give the reader a greater appreciation of these often-slandered slithering reptiles. Key Features Documents the important role played by a preeminent herpetologist. Focuses on research conducted in Australia, especially on snakes. Summarizes highly influential conservation studies. Explores the ways in which research has deepened our understanding of snakes.
