    Recommended reference, as well!

    Not just a "storybook", but also doubles as a simple reference book on many types of deadly snakes. Even though I am not a "snake-type", I did find it well written, easy to read, and enjoyable reading.

    Man vs. Nature

    First off I'm not sure what made me pick up this book, I'm NOT a fan of snakes. But it always facinates me how far someone will go in pursuit of something that is their passion. Also the age old man vs nature scenerio is always interesting. Joe Slowinski was a snake and science lover from a very early age and he devoted his unfortunate short life to that subject. Even in his darkest hour he was relaying information to the team about what was happening not for glory but for the sake of discovery and knowledge so that if he didn't survive at least science would gain something from it. A sad but interesting story. Very informative and well written. A good read.
