Snakes are creatures of mystery, arousing fear in many people but
fascination in a few. Recent research has transformed our
understanding of the behaviour and ecology of these animals,
revealed their important roles in diverse ecosystems, and
discovered new and effective ways to conserve their populations and
to promote coexistence between snakes and people. One of the
leading contributors to that scientific revolution has been Prof
Rick Shine. Based in Australia, whose snake fauna is diverse and
often dangerous, his experiences and anecdotes will inspire a new
generation of serpent scientists. Spellbinding stories highlight
the challenges, frustrations, and joys of discovery, and give the
reader a greater appreciation of these often-slandered slithering
reptiles. Key Features Documents the important role played by a
preeminent herpetologist. Focuses on research conducted in
Australia, especially on snakes. Summarizes highly influential
conservation studies. Explores the ways in which research has
deepened our understanding of snakes.
