The Subtle Beast: Snakes, from Myth to Medicine traces a
fascinating journey from the macroscopic features of snakes to the
molecular description of venom components. The first chapters
detail how snakes inspired fear and worship, served as sources of
medicine, and represented good and evil throughout the ages. The
remaining sections describe the scientific work that has eroded
supernatural beliefs during the past three centuries. The book
examines the origin, features, and classification of snakes, and
also offers a precise description of snake venoms and their
components. The final chapter discusses how venoms can be applied
toward medicinal purposes.
