| Snakes | |||
Description: "We
regard serpents with a destructive hatred purely and simply
because we are taught so from childhood," as this new
homage to snakes quotes from a 1919 work by naturalist W.
H. Hudson. One of the hopes of author Badger and photographer
Netherton was to call attention to current threats to snakes
and their habitats. They succeed admirably in engaging the
reader with beautiful photographs and quotes from earlier
works by great naturalists and herpetologists, who were
also great writers. The first chapter is a general overview
of humans and snakes and is full of interesting tidbits,
such as the fact that Benjamin Franklin recommended that
a rattlesnake would make a good symbol of the nascent United
States. The second chapter presents a primer on snake biology
and behavior, and the very long third chapter is an overview
of various families and species of snakes (mostly native
to North America). The photographs are breathtaking in their
composition, clarity, and sheer beauty, and they alone recommend
the book. Nancy Bent, Booklist --Amazon.com |

Videos
| The Ultimate Guide - Snakes | |||
Customer Review: This is one of the best
documentary videos on snakes I have ever seen. The photography
is spectacular. Especially stunning and well-done are the
sequences where a fierce snake pursues a mouse in its underground
burrow and the multipart sequence following a corn snake
in its exploration of a typical barn in the eastern U.S.
I am amazed at the photographers' skills in filming these
sequences. The video also provides a lot of interesting,
factual information on a variety of snakes. Highly recommended.
