| Harold Heatwole is a competent
scientist and a wonderful author, so the publication of the revised
edition of his Sea Snakes is a delight. The text is written
by one of the leading hands-on authorities on the subject, and is related
in a style that is as enjoyable to read as it is factual.
Sea snakes are remarkable animals--many never set
"belly" on land; they include the most powerfully toxic snakes
known to science; they have remarkable physiologies that allow extremely
long, deep dives; and some even detect light with sensory organs in their
tails!
A must book for any herpetologist, ecologist, or
evolutionary biologist ho wants to know just how far a group of
vertebrates can deviate from a terrestrial plan. |
