- Book Synopsis
- Slither into the world of Spectacular Snakes with explorer and scientist Tim Flannery and his daughter, Emma, as they shine the spotlight on one of the world's most beloved and surprising creatures! With more than 3,700 sub-species around the world, there's a snake to delight and frighten every kind of reader, from Australia's deadly Eastern brown snake to the green anaconda, the heaviest snake in the world. Not to mention the teeny-tiny Barbados thread snake, which is half as long as a pencil! So come along on a fascinating expedition with the world-renowned scientist and explorer Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma as they explore the world's weirdest, slitheriest reptile family. This gorgeous large format picture book comes with lush, full-colour illustrations from renowned illustrator Katie Melrose, gold foil and tactile grain lamination on the cover that feels like snakeskin - making it the perfect gift for animal lovers and ophiophilists (people who love reptiles) alike!
- About The Author
- Professor Tim Flannery is one of the world's leading scientists, explorers and conservationists. He's spent most of his life studying the natural world - from mammalogy to palaeontology - and has had some incredible adventures along the way, including floating down crocodile-infested rivers and wrestling pythons. He's discovered 75 new species of animals - some that are still living, and others that have been preserved as fossils. He's worked at museums and universities in Australia and around the world, including as Director of the South Australian Museum, Visiting Chair in Australian Studies at Harvard University and Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Australian Museum. He established and co-chaired the Copenhagen Climate Council, was appointed Australia's first Climate Commissioner and is the Founder and Chief Councillor of the Australian Climate Council. In 2007, he was named Australian of the Year. He has published over 140 peer-reviewed scientific papers and more than thirty books, including the award-winning Here on Earth, Atmosphere of Hope and The Weather Makers , which has been translated into over 20 languages. His books for children include the best-selling Explore Your World series, many of which he co-wrote with his daughter and fellow scientist, Emma.
