Snakes: From Vipers to Boa Constrictors is a beautiful photographic book about snakes by Julianna Photopoulos. Due out 14th June 2023 from Amber Books, it's 224 pages and will be available in hardcover format.
The
first section of the book includes a very basic introduction on snakes as a general family. The bulk
of the book contains a gorgeous and very colorful primer of
specific snake species arranged by continent. Each entry includes a common name, the genus and
species names, and numerous crystal clear photos of the snake, and various behaviours.
This is a gorgeous hardcover coffee table book. I found it
quite appealing and would definitely recommend it for the home or
school library or a very nice gift. To appreciate
and protect the future of our planet, people have to learn to
appreciate and love the creatures with whom we share the earth. A lot of
ignorance and fear can be dispelled with calm and factual information.
This book shows snakes in their habitats as interesting and worthy of
our respect and protection. Many (most?) of the photos are stock photos collected from commercial companies; they're all credited in the index.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
