Reptiles
Franz Vermeulen

The class Reptilia - air-breathing, cold-blooded, scaled animals - comprises 4 orders of living reptiles: Crocodilia, Rhynchocephalia, Squamata and Testudines. The superorder of the dinosaurs is generally also included with the reptiles, although they are extinct and now thought to have been warm-blooded. This extraordinary and erudite book covers the entire class of reptiles as well as the many and varied snakes. Hundreds of articles and medical reports have been painstakingly reviewed (many of them envenomations) and extracted by the author to provide detailed information. This work also finally classifies the snakes into their proper zoological familes, enabling practitioners to prescribe a wider range of snake remedies with greater precision and success. Including Materia Medica, Clinical Manifestations, Affinities, Biological Profiles and Characteristics, these wonderful pictures aim to give access to an additional 60 reptile remedies whether Colubrids, Constrictors, Crocodilians, Dinosaurs, Elapids, Lizards, Pit Vipers, Sea Snakes, True Vipers, Turtles or Worm Lizards.
