However, more than telling great stories and showing great pictures, this book has another purpose. Tony wants to dispel the myth that 'the only good snake is a dead snake.' He shares his insights into some truly fascinating reptiles, and gives common-sense advice about living safely with them.
Snake Catcher includes information on:
* The most commonly encountered Australian reptiles, complete with stunning full-colour photos.
* What to do if you encounter a snake at home or in the bush.
* How to discourage dangerous snakes from entering your property.
* The benefits of having some snake species living nearby.
* How to treat a snake bite.
* How to protect your pets from run-ins with snakes.
* Some of the rules about keeping reptiles for yourself.
About the Author
Tony Harrison is Britain’s leading poet-playwright. According to fellow poet Simon Armitage in the New Statesman, Harrison sees himself as a poet, regardless of the format of his writing. "[H]e sees it all as part of the same task, the task of being a poet," stated Armitage. Harrison himself has said that “poetry is all I write, whether for books, or readings, or for the National Theatre, or for the opera house and concert hall, or even for TV." His enormously wide-ranging oeuvre includes film, theater and “journalistic” poems written for the Guardian newspaper during conflicts in the Persian Gulf and Bosnia. Harrison is also a well-regarded translator, and his translations and adaptations of English medieval mystery plays, Moliere, Racine and countless Greek dramas have been hugely successful. Noted especially for his out-spoken politics, Harrison’s poetry treats issues of class, race and power with extraordinary formal brilliance and technique.
