Recognizing the unexpected proximity of rattlers in our urban environs, Palmer examines not only \u003ci\u003eCrotalus horridus\u003c\/i\u003e but also the ecology, evolution, folklore, New England history, and American culture that surrounds this native species. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLandscape with Reptile\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the rattlesnake's survival with a multifaceted journey through nature, literature, and history. It includes a spirited defense of an outlaw species, an investigation of the hazards of snakebite, an account of a multimillion-dollar development project halted by \u003ci\u003eCrotalus\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of tall tales, and a meditation on the spectacle of life on earth. Like the best nature writers, Palmer lives and breathes his landscape, but unlike most nature writers, he finds his landscape is his own backyard. Rarely has a book of natural history addressed so many historical and cultural touchstones in such original and unexpected ways. Palmer's story is as authentic as the woodlands from which it sprang.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820354118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHOMAS PALMER is an amateur naturalist, photographer, conservation advocate, and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Transfer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDream Science\u003c\/i\u003e.
