Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Egyptian cobra (Naja haje) is a venomous snake found in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The Egyptian cobra may grow to between 5 and 8 feet (1.5 and 2.4 m) in length and specimens as long as 8 feet (2.4 m) have been seen in some areas. The most recognizable characteristics of an Egyptian cobra are its head and hood. The head is large and depressed with a broad snout. The cobra's eyes are large with a round pupil. Its neck may range from 15 to 18 centimetres (5.9 to 7.1 in) wide. The colour is variable, but most specimens are some shade of brown, often with lighter or darker mottling, and often a "tear-drop" mark below the eye. Specimens from northwestern Africa (Morocco, Western Sahara) are almost entirely black. The Egyptian cobra typically makes its home in dry to moist savanna and semi-desert regions with at least some water and vegetation (never in desert regions). The cobra may also be found in oases, agricultural grounds, hills with sparse vegetation, and grasslands. These cobras are not afraid of humans and often enter houses. They are attracted to the human villages by chickens and rats that are attracted by garbage. There are also reports of Egyptian cobras swimming in the Mediterranean sea. The Egyptian cobra is terrestrial and nocturnal in the wild, though in captivity they seem to tend towards diurnality. It can, however, be seen basking in the sun at times in the early morning. It shows a preference for a permanent home in abandoned animal burrows, termite mounds or rock outcrops and the like, sometimes entering human habitations to hunt domestic fowl. It will general...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14572625 ... Read more

Not for herpetologists
This book was not what I'd expected.Clearly a childrens book and not for the herpetologist.Very little facts concerning species/subspecies and more facts like:"Cobras are predators. This means they must eat otheranimals to stay alive." Twentytwo pages and a photo coveringeveryother page.The reason why I gave this book one star instead of noneis cause of the photos. These guys definetly knows how to handle theircameras, some of the best photos I've seen(to few though). ... Read more

Product Description
Tissue damage in the liver and intestine of viper snake by nematodes and in the intestine of cobra by an acanthocephala is described here. These snakes were naturally infected with the parasites. Study of tissue sections revealed that the nematodes in the liver of viper cause severe damage including destruction of general architecture, atrophy and fibrosis. Lobular configuration of liver was disturbed, coagulated necrosis has occurred, melanomacrophage centers appeared. Bile duct hyperplasia with marked colangiohepatitis was observed. In the intestine the nematode caused fusion and destruction of mucosa with deformed villi, formation of granulomas in mucosa and submucosa was a common finding with large numbers of fibrous elements. The acanthocephala in the intestine of cobra caused severe tissue injury involving the whole thickness of its wall. Penetration of spiny proboscis caused severe tissue reactions, shrinkage of muscles, atrophy, necrosis and degeneration. This information is of value to research workers in this field, snake breeders and traders as well as to students and teachers of parasitology. ... Read more

Commentary (music and lyrics not included).Chapters: Good Girls Go Bad, Snakes on a Plane, Hot Mess, Guilty Pleasure. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 22. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: "Good Girls Go Bad" is a song recorded by American Pop punk band Cobra Starship with guest vocals by Leighton Meester. It was the first single released from their third studio album, Hot Mess. The song was released digitally through iTunes on May 11, 2009. On May 8, 2009, "Good Girls Go Bad" made its radio debut on KIIS-FM with Ryan Seacrest's show. The song was produced by American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi and Kevin Rudolf. The song has enjoyed great success in the U.S., reaching number 7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song has started getting heavy airplay in Canada as well, debuting at 21 on Canada's radio airplay chart "Canadian Hit 30" on the issue date of July 25, 2009. The song also debuted on Radio 1 in the UK in September 2009. As a reference to Leighton Meester's vocals, the track was used on Gossip Girl for several scenes where her character, Blair Waldorf, is portrayed on the episode "The Freshmen". This song was also used in Greek's "Friend or Foe?" Some of the official remixes also feature artist and singer Flo Rida. The band was first offered to work with Kara DioGuardi in 2009, just as DioGuardi was becoming an American Idol judge. Vocalist Gabe Saporta explained, We got offered to work with Kara right as she was becoming an American Idol judge. We didn't know who she was. She didn't know who we were. We got hooked up with her. I'm like, 'Who is this person?' She's like, 'Who's this annoying band?' But we got in the room, and it was like magic, and we wrote the song in 15 minutes. It's, like, the best song on our album. Fifteen minutes after the creation of the hook for the song,...http://booksllc.net/?id=22768254 ... Read more
