Among the many different creatures that live in the world around us, snakes occupy a special place; most people either love them or hate them. Through the ages snakes have inspired fear or love, have been cast as gods or devils, as living representations of good or evil, and have even been used as fantastic medicinal tools. Many of the supernatural beliefs concerning snakes have been progressively eroded over the years by a number of great scientists, much of whose work is described in this book.
The Subtle Beast introduces the reader to the complex and absorbing world of snakes, tracing a fascinating journey from the macroscopic features of snakes to the molecular components of their venom. As the book progresses the reader will bear witness as the snake sheds its mythical skin to emerge in the full splendour of its true self.
