The University of California Press has reissued Laurence Klauber’s
Rattlesnakes. The original two-volume work, published in 1956, contained just
about everything that was known about rattlesnakes, much of it discovered by
Klauber himself. The present version is a reprint of the revised 1972 edition,
plus a foreword and some notes on taxonomic changes contributed by Harry Greene.
Those who missed the previous editions, which are now expensive collectors’
items, will be delighted that this heroic work is available again. $125,
ISBN 0520210565.
