Title Slither
Author Stephen Hall
Call Number N/A
Location Other
Rating Recommended
Book Review Slither explores biological and cultural aspects of snakes. The book covers topics such as herpeto-sociology, venom, metabolism, sensation, reproduction, locomotion, and adaptation. This book is a good introduction for those who want to learn more about snakes, without being too heavy-handed with the scientific jargon. It can be an enjoyable read for those interested in biology and anatomy, as snakes really break every rule we know in those fields. I wish the author had included diagrams for some of the visual aspects.
