“Ernst has provided a beautiful summary of the literature in this area. Anyone interested in the biology of these reptiles will find this book a spectacular timesaver.”—Quarterly Review of Biology

“This book is a valuable reference, representing the only recent comprehensive account of North America’s venomous reptiles. Most herpetologists, as well as many other biologists and naturalists, will want access to a copy [and] amateurs will find the book readable and useful.”—ASB Bulletin

“A solid, scholarly natural history of all venomous reptiles north of Mexico (20 snakes and the Gila monster). . . . Likely to remain the standard reference for the next twenty years.”—SciTech Book News
