A new book from the University of Georgia Press belongs in the library of anyone who spends time outdoors, even if just in the yard. . . . Snakes of the Eastern United States is lavishly illustrated with beautiful color photographs of the legless reptiles, which should make identifying any of the 63 snake species native to the East a snap., Our planet is home to an amazing number of life forms. Every niche, every opportunity for life to exist, becomes filled. All animals are consumers, from microbes to elephants, including snakes, which are highly specialized predators. All are here on earth today because their consumption has been sustainable. Documenting and describing the habits of eastern snakes, both native species and introduced exotics, is an important contribution to the knowledge of our surroundings as we have become the custodians of all living creatures. Being aware that all life on the planet is intertwined, no matter how it appears or what it does to survive, is an important step in accepting our stewardship responsibilities. Snakes of the Eastern United States is extraordinarily informative about snake biology, and impresses on the reader that snakes are an integral part of the natural world we share with them. This book will go far toward educating the public and encouraging everyone to respect these intriguing creatures., In 1910, Teddy Roosevelt proclaimed 'We need a literature of science which shall be readable.' In today's age of instant gratification, we also need a literature of science that is enjoyable, and with Snakes of the Eastern United States fulfills this goal. To conserve snakes, a shunned group at best, they must be understood; that once they are understood they will be appreciated; and that once they are appreciated, they will be conserved. Books such as this are critical, because they form the foundation of today's bottom-up, grassroots conservation efforts., Snakes of the Eastern United States is an aesthetically pleasing, well-written, information-packed book that should appeal to a wide audience, from the neophyte snake enthusiast to the seasoned herpetologist. Furthermore, with its strong conservation message, the usefulness of Snakes of the Eastern United States goes well beyond that of a field guide. . . . This book is an educational tool and potential attitude changer., In Snakes of the Eastern United States , photographs, colorful geographic range maps and comprehensive written accounts provide essential information about each snake species, including detailed identification characteristics, general ecology and behavior, and conservation status., In 1910, Teddy Roosevelt proclaimed 'We need a literature of science which shall be readable.' In today's age of instant gratification, we also need a literature of science that is enjoyable, and with Snakes of the Eastern United States , Dorcas and Gibbons once again deliver. They recognize that to conserve snakes, a shunned group at best, they must be understood; that once they are understood they will be appreciated; and that once they are appreciated, they will be conserved. Books such as this are critical, because they form the foundation of today's bottom-up, grassroots conservation efforts., In this superbly illustrated volume, two leading authorities take us on a detailed yet easily understandable tour through the magnificent snakes of the eastern USA. If you want to learn about snake biology, recognize the snake that just appeared in your back yard, or simply glory in the beauty of these spectacular animals, then this is the book for you., I have always enjoyed learning about snakes and found this book to be the best source I have seen to continue doing so. Great job with awesome illustrations., With excellent identification guidance, exceptional range maps, and stunning photographs that capture habitat and behavior as well as the species, Snakes of the Eastern United States is sure to become a trusted reference for the exploring naturalist. Snakes have fascinated me since boyhood, and I wish this book had been available then. I'm glad it is now., 'eoeI have always enjoyed learning about snakes and found this book to be the best source I have seen to continue doing so.
