"Combines solid scientific reference material, which is not too technical for the layman to understand, with popular natural history, folklore about rattlesnakes and about their bites, and rattlesnake stories from credible and incredible sources. A wonderfully interesting book."—Tucson Star
This virtual encyclopedia of the rattlesnake became a natural history sensation when it was first published in 1956. The republication of the Second Edition, with a new foreword by Harry W. Greene, will give amateur and professional herpetologists alike reason to rejoice.
