Reviews
Learn about snakes from around the world, the relationships between the species, snake biology--how and where they live, feed and reproduce--and how they interact with humans. This updated edition would make a great holiday gift for any young naturalist., "Learn about snakes from around the world, the relationships between the species, snake biology--how and where they live, feed and reproduce--and how they interact with humans. This updated edition would make a great holiday gift for any young naturalist."-- Lexington Herald Leader, "Great pictures and great prose make a memorable combination, and it certainly does not hurt the credentials of the encyclopedia that the contents have been pieced together with such up-to-date, painstaking precision. Simply put, Dr. Mattison's book is a sheer delight and deserves pride of place on the shelves of many more than just the noble band of the herpetologically minded." --John Mathew, Science Books and Film, " The New Encyclopedia of Snakes is a must-have... Mattison's work is a breathtaking wonder. How he managed to fill 271 pages with reams of scientific and plain entertaining information, then added 200 beautiful photographs that deal with every snake on this planet, is simply astonishing...It's all there, our American snakes, the Asian, Australian, African and European snakes, their lives, mating habits, raising of young, feeding and potential threat to humans who bother them. You will be blown away by the color photography, but you also will begin to read and probably not stop for a long time." --Gene Muller, Washington Times, "Snakes are among the most feared and misunderstood creatures on earth. A comprehensive and richly illustrated new reference book dispels these misconceptions by addressing the natural history of snakes. This is an idea reference for anyone interested in snakes. The New Encyclopedia of Snakes is one of the most comprehensive single-volume guides ever written about snakes, a work that is highly recommended." ---Larry Cox, King Features Syndicate, Great pictures and great prose make a memorable combination, and it certainly does not hurt the credentials of the encyclopedia that the contents have been pieced together with such up-to-date, painstaking precision. Simply put, Dr. Mattison's book is a sheer delight and deserves pride of place on the shelves of many more than just the noble band of the herpetologically minded. ---John Mathew, Science Books and Film, "Important changes in classifying and naming snakes, the addition of new species, advances in behavioral biology, new concerns about habitat loss, and the state of the art as influenced by the Internet, have all prompted Mattison to revise his 1995 The Encyclopedia of Snakes . As a promoter of herpetology, especially snakes, the author provides this nicely written and beautifully illustrated update, suitable for readers ranging from the beginning naturalist to the focused professional. Worldwide in scope, this well-referenced volume incorporates an evolutionary theme to discuss in some depth the entire range of knowledge about snakes." --D.M.
