| Description: | Select Guide Rating Snakes are fascinating creatures and herpetologists and amateur snake fanciers devote immense time and energy to their study. No one has focused more obsessively on research and discovery than Prof Rick Shine. Spellbinding stories highlight the challenges and joys of discovery and give the reader a greater appreciation of these reptiles. 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
