what a great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I've read this book a dozen times and I laugh out loud - even knowing what's coming - every time. Warm, clever, informed and hilarious. Whit Gibbons is a treasure to field biologists and normal people alike.
You have no idea....

Just read the book and you will cry you laugh so hard. Just imagine being a student in his class like I am. It is the best class I have ever taken hands down. Whit is remarkably intellegent in all areas of herps and this book is a wonderful example of how dedicated he is to this passion.
I could envision myself in each scenario!

Whit has portrayed his adventures with herps with amazing wit. Each chapter begins with a narrative about an episode that his zest for "research" placed him in. I read a couple of different chapters to a friend over the phone (imagine an alligator in the cab of your truck!) and we both laughed so hard we were in tears. At the end of each tale is a lesson in sound zoology. Most field biologists will recognize themselves in this book.
Great book. Who'd think an herpatologist could be so funny?

Whit Gibbons gives a truly funny account of his time as a graduate student and professor, chasing reptiles through the southern US and abroad. It's funny, it's informative. This is no textbook, but rather tales of life and animal research.
