Each of the species featured has a page devoted to it, with a map showing its location, information on its habits, plus color photographs of the snake itself. Flicking through the book reveals the amazing diversity of snakes—tiny acid-green Vinesnakes, vibrantly striped Rainbow Snakes and the ghost-like Japanese Aodaisho.” * Wall Street Journal, on the First Edition *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Evolution \u0026amp; diversity of snakes\u003cbr\u003e What is a snake?\u003cbr\u003e Prey \u0026amp; hunting\u003cbr\u003e Enemies \u0026amp; defense\u003cbr\u003e Reproductive strategies\u003cbr\u003e Snakes \u0026amp; humankind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The snakes\u003cbr\u003e Scolecophidia\u003cbr\u003e Alethinophidia: Amerophidia\u003cbr\u003e Alethinophidia: Afrophidia: Henophidia\u003cbr\u003e Alethinophidia: Afrophidia: Caenophidia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Resources\u003cbr\u003e Index of common names\u003cbr\u003e Index of scientific names\u003cbr\u003e Index of taxonomic groups\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400139120983,"sku":"9780226832852","price":47.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226832852.jpg?v=1730469855","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-book-of-snakes-9780226832852","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
