Summary

"Drake Statesman traces the snake's natural history and explores its complex symbolism across a variety of cultures, including the biblical temptation of Eve, the Chinese zodiac, Indian snake charmers and Hollywood films. She looks at the roles that snakes have played in culture and science, and their use in cooking and medicine. Copiously illustrated and written in an engaging style, Snake will interest all those who love, admire or fear this fascinating and enduring animal."--Jacket.
