Download or read book Tales from the Golden Age of Rattlesnake Hunting written by Donald G. Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book written with a genuine love and concern for these often maligned animals-and with a knowledge of their role in the ecosystem. There are eleven chapters with sixty-three photographs, more than half of these in color. Written about a time not so long ago when collecting and releasing these reptiles was not as restricted as it is now. The stories are of capturing snakes in the wild. From forests to swamps from backyard to desert. Sometimes with danger sometimes not. But always with excitement. There is a section on the identification of venomous snakes of the United States including precautions and advice on first aid. A chapter on rattlesnake round-ups and their effects on snake populations is discussed. Diagrams explain how a rattle works, how the venom delivery system operates and the efficacy of a striking coil. Fallacies and folklore are examined and set straight. The stories are real. The snakes are exciting. The excitement is real. E.C.O. 915 Seymour, Lansing, MI 48906, (517)487-5595, Fax (517) 371-2709, email; ecoorders@hotmail, website; www.ecouniverse.com.

Download or read book America's Snake written by Ted Levin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed naturalist offers an in-depth profile of the timber rattlesnake, from its unique biological adaptations to its role in American history. The ominous rattle of the timber rattlesnake is one of the most famous—and terrifying—sounds in nature. Today, they are found in thirty-one states and many major cities. Yet most Americans have never seen a timber rattler, and only know them from movies or our frightened imaginations. Ted Levin aims to change that with America’s Snake. This portrait of the timber rattler explores its significance in American frontier history, and sheds light on the heroic efforts to protect the species against habitat loss, climate change, and the human tendency to kill what we fear. Taking us from labs where the secrets of the snake’s evolutionary adaptations are being unlocked to far-flung habitats that are protected by dedicated herpetologists, Levin paints a picture of a fascinating creature: peaceable, social, long-lived, and, despite our phobias, not inclined to bite. The timber rattler emerges here as an emblem of America, but also of the struggles involved in protecting the natural world. A wonderful mix of natural history, travel writing, and exemplary journalism, America’s Snake is loaded with remarkable characters—none more so than the snake itself: frightening, fascinating, and unforgettable.

Book Synopsis Texas Rattlesnake Roundups by : Clark E. Adams
Download or read book Texas Rattlesnake Roundups written by Clark E. Adams and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covered by Wide World of Sports, National Public Radio, and National Geographic, Texas rattlesnake roundups like those in Sweetwater, Texas, draw both fascinated tourists and irate protesters. Begun as an organized form of predator control in the 1920s, for many years rattlesnake roundups have been promoted as community events and civic fundraisers. The western diamond-backed rattlesnake is the main attraction, with pits full of thousands of writhing rattlesnakes serving as the featured spectacle. Often taking advantage of the animals' denning behavior to capture large numbers at a time, hunters deliver live snakes to commercial dealers who are contracted by event organizers to supply the animals as a source of entertainment: from snake handling and snake races to snake sacking, snake skinning, snake milking, and snake education activities. Rattlesnake products of various types are also sold and consumed at the events. In this close-up look at rattlesnake roundups in Texas, Clark E. Adams and John K. Thomas present perhaps the first full description of this social and environmental phenomenon, tracking its popularity, its participants, its opponents, its impact on the communities where it occurs, and, as much as is possible, its effects on the rattlesnake itself. In recent years, the commercial trade in Texas animals has emerged as a serious and controversial issue, and the number of roundups has declined sharply. Texas Rattlesnake Roundups promises to provide a balanced starting point for all those interested in knowing more about this curious custom.

Book excerpt: When Ricardo Delgado—a prolific development and storyboard artist who has worked on such hit films as Men in Black, The Incredibles, WALL-E, X—Men Origins: Wolverine, and the Matrix series—first set his sights on creating comics, he crafted an epic tale about the most unlikely cast of characters: dinosaurs. Since that first foray into the world of sequential art—which earned him an Eisner win for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition—he has returned to his critically acclaimed Age of Reptiles again and again, each time crafting a captivating saga about his saurian subjects. * This volume collects the long—out—of—print Age of Reptiles and Age of Reptiles: The Hunt, and the never—before—collected third series, Age of Reptiles: The Journey. "Delgado once more proves that the age of great illustration is alive and well." —John Landis, Filmmaker, An American Werewolf in London, Michael Jackson's Thriller
