4.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding,
By Martin Pruimers (Spijkenisse Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snake Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
This book (and no doubt its volumes 2 and 3 to follow) provides us with a well-needed checklist of the snakes of the world, including all the synonyms ever used for them. The order in which the snakes are presented is a bit arbitrary, but the reason for that is rather practical, and explained in the preface. I would like to have (at least) the English names mentioned somewhere. It wouldn't scare off foreigners, as has been shown by the long-term "Check-list of Birds of the World", which is of the same outstanding class. I would have preferred to have an overall index at the end of Volume 3, but on the other hand it would have left us without an index for many years, as the finalization of the next volumes will take a long time. All in all: this a book a serious herpetologist can't afford to miss.
