Set of 2 Hamlyn Reference: Fishes & Snakes Of The World

Snakes Of The World (John Stidworthy) - 160 pages
This book has been written to provide a much needed insight into the greatly maligned and slightly fearsome world of snakes. The evolution and physical structure of these fascinating creatures is fully explained, detailing their senses, feeding, breeding and development. The classification of snakes into families, together with descriptions of individual species, is clearly and thoroughly explained, and superbly illustrated.

Fishes Of The World (Allan Cooper) - 160 pages
The tremendously varied fish life from the world's oceans, seas and lakes is the subject of this book. Using his expert knowledge, the author classifies fish into groups and describes their life-cycle, habitat and, with the aid of abundant illustrations, the differences between them. Fishes represented in the book include the Man-Eating shark, the attractive butterfly and angelfishes and the clown-like pufferfish which can inflate itself into the shape of a lop-sided balloon.
