Review Quotes:
The discussion of envenomation identification, grading, and treatment is fascinating and clinically valuable. I was very impressed with the organization and readability of the text. I nearly forgot to mention the wonderful color photographs.... The amount of information packed into these two volumes is truly mindboggling. This is a 'must have' reference for anyone interested in these creatures.
