Industry Reviews "Would it seem overmuch to say that no household, no serious library, should lack a copy of this book? I don't think so. Life is short, but snakes are long. New York Times Book Review - David Quammen (07/06/1997)
"...Greene writes eloquently of snakes in human culture and the need for conservation." Bloomsbury Review - Lori D. Kranz
"In this gorgeous book, biologist Harry W. Greene introduces the reader to the astonishing beauty and variety of the world's snakes - some 2,700 species that have evolved to live everywhere from the open ocean to the planet's most forbidding deserts." Washington Post Book World - Susan Okie (08/24/1997)
