Excerpt: David Harvey (born 31 October 1935, Gillingham, Kent, England) is the Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY). A leading social theorist of international standing, he received his PhD in Geography from University of Cambridge in 1961. Widely influential, he is among the top 20 most cited authors in the humanities. In addition, he is the world's most cited academic geographer (according to Andrew Bodman, see Transactions of the IBG, 1991, 1992), and the author of many books and essays that have been prominent in the development of modern geography as a discipline. His work has contributed greatly to broad social and political debate, most recently he has been credited with helping to bring back social class and Marxist methods as serious methodological tools in the critique of global capitalism, particularly in its neoliberal form. Harvey attended Gillingham Grammar School for Boys and St John's...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1417002 ... Read more

I'm Confused
I bought this for my son, As A Christmas present request, My son works in a Texas Zoo and is an aspiring herpetologist, So I ordered the books and to my confusion I only recieved one book, and it said right in the title a 2 Volume set,- (Rattlesnakes: Their Habits, Life Histories, and Influence on Mankind, Second edition (2 volume set) (Hardcover)- So am I missing something or did I get ripped off ?

Excellent Book
This is the Rattle Snake Bible. Klauber was not only the head of the San Diego Zoos reptile house for many years, he still is referenced in association with rattlesnakes as the formost expert years after his death and it is well deserved. His research was ground breaking (although now it seems elementary in some ways I.E. his heat pit research.) and interesting to read. Its no wonder they chose to name the banded rock rattle snake in his honor (crotalus viridis klauberii).

decades after it's publication, still the best!
This book is still the best book on rattlesnakes, decades after it was published. That alone ought to stand as a testament to the value this book has. The author brought an incredibly analytical mind to this book, and it shows. Some of the medical information is out of date, as is some of the taxonomy, but much on the habitats, morphology, ecology, interaction with man, etc. still holds true.

His work on the rattlesnakes strike, on comparitive morphology of the two genera, etc. still stand. This book covers rattlesnakes in incredible depth, going over every detail of these serpents.It's a godsend for those of us interested in rattlers. This book leaves no stone unturned (herping joke, sorry). It covers it's subject matter completly and professionally, and is well worth having on the bookshelf as a reference. If you like rattlers, or for that matter find zoology interesting, this book is a worthwhile read.If only more herpetological text were near as thorough as this one...

Klauber rules!
Anything and everything you need to know about these great reptiles!Status, morphology, the rattle, bodily functions, behavior, population and ecology, food, reproduction, venom apparatus, envenomation and its effects, treatment and prevention of envenomation, control an utilization, enemies of rattlesnakes, Indians and rattlesnakes, post-Columbian knowledge of rattlesnakes, myths, folklore and tall stories.

A truly interesting book
I read this book in the mid 90's just for the heck of it, and found it to be wonderful.The style is neither dryly academic nor breathlessly tabloid, but just right.The text answers almost all possible questions about rattlesnake life, legends, myths, and taxonomy that one could think of.It is one of the few books I have read that could be used as either a reference or vacation book. ...
