Nic Bishop's amazing photography has set the standard for nature photography; his magnificent work not only reveals the science of animals in the wild but is detailed enough that readers are drawn to inquire about "what" and "why."

From photograph to text, young biologists can observe and infer. Once again Bishop earns NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book recognition with his work on snakes. Some of the photographs are magnified 2?? times to show greater detail. Read to find out about all different kinds of snakes and how they survive in a variety of habitats with adaptations that are clear to the reader.

This is a book to browse, read, and then treasure as a resource. It's supplemented by Author’s Note, Glossary, Index, and references for further reading.
