Among the many different creatures that live in the world around us, snakes occupy a special place. Through the ages snakes have inspired fear or love, have been cast as gods or devils, as living representations of good or evil, and have even been used as fantastic medicinal tools. The scientists whose work is described in this volume have dismantled many of the supernatural beliefs concerning snakes over the years. The Subtle Beast introduces the reader to the complex and absorbing world of snakes, tracing a fascinating journey from snakes' mythic features to the molecular components of their venom.
