The Handbook of Clinical Toxicology of Animal Venoms is the first concise, one-volume book devoted to this important subject. The editors are internationally recognized authorities in the biology and clinical aspects of venomous and poisonous animals, and the chapter authors are world leaders in their respective fields of toxicology.All aspects of the topic are covered including information on the biology and taxonomy of poisonous animals, their venom or poison, diagnosis, and general treatment principles and specific treatment. The most up-to-date list of available antivenoms is provided. Coverage of venomous and poisonous animals is comprehensive, with thorough discussions on shellfish poisoning, ciguatera, fugu, coelenterates, stingrays, venous fish, blue-ringed octopus, sea-snakes, scorpions, spiders, insects, and gila lizards. Individual chapters focus on snakes and snakebite in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, Central America, and South America. Nearly all clinical chapters have been written by clinicians with extensive experience treating the particular type of animal envenoming or poisoning under consideration.No other book brings together such a wealth of information in this field, and no other book provides it in a format useful to clinicians charged with the responsibility of treating envenomed or poisoned patients. The Handbook of Clinical Toxicology of Animal Venoms is an essential addition to all medical libraries, emergency departments, toxicology departments, poison information centers, and invaluable to all professionals working in these fields.

If you read the description you can easily see that this isn't a kids book! I'm a herpetologist and I find this tome both extremely informative and easy to use. There are descriptions of venom chemistry, delivery system, animal habits, the records of how many people were injured and why, and effects on the envenomed in a concise one-book-covers-all way. This isn't for the kiddies nor is it for the average level of interest. The layman may need help with terms and physiological processes.
Complete computation of data on the worlds animal venoms and poisons.An important textbook for the study of toxicology.I wish the pictures were colored.... It would add to the experience....But nevertheless, I highly recommend this book, for gaining in depth knowledge off the subject.This is a book for the professional, including an impressive list of reference.
This book is excellent. It has everything you need to know! I have been looking for a certain snake that is hard to find and I read many other books, but nothing. Then I saw this book! It was in there, I couldn't belive it. Thanks !
(I'm fifteen years old.)The reason that I am doing this is because I don't have the access to e-mail.This is the best book on venom that I have ever read! I have studied this materiel all of my life. I am going to become a zoologist. This book opened up a new world of venomous/poisonous animals. The one thing that it didn't mention; however, was the difference between passivelly venomous and activally venomous. You can kind of say that it is MY theroy. I can't give out my name; but, I will explain it to you. Activally venomous animals like scorpions, snakes, cone shells, etc, use their venom to capture and subdo their prey. Passivally venomous animals like, the platypus, stone fish, etc, use their venom for self defense. The book was great, and I would like to publish one myself. I would love to meet with the author of the book because I could talk about animals for days at a time.
