This new edition of Snakes in Question has been completely updated to take into account the most recent research available, offering useful scientific information about snakes while dispelling many widely-circulated myths and common fears. Accompanied by 100 stunning color photographs and written in the popular question-and-answer format of Smithsonian’s "In Question" series, the book tells how snakes breathe, hear, smell, and much more. It covers not only the life cycle of snakes but also explores such phenomena as the rattlesnake’s rattle, the viper’s hiss, and the snake charmer’s secrets. It addresses common folktales about snakes (do snakes milk cows?) and describes giant snakes, both real and imaginary. The authors also give expert advice on such subjects as distinguishing venomous species from harmless look-alikes and keeping snakes as pets.

Free Download Power and Place: Temple and Identity in Book of Revelation By Gregory Stevenson
2001 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 3110170086 | PDF | 11 MB
`No physical structure in antiquity held more significance as a place of access to deity than a temple’ – from the introduction. Stevenson’s study explores Jewish thought and tradition and the inter-mingling of Greco-Roman and Jewish culture based on an analysis of symbolism in the Book of Revelation. Written in the latter half of the first century, the Book of Revelation was written for Christians living in the culturally diverse area of western Asia Minor. Considering Early Christianity in the ancient Mediterranean was devoid of temple buildings, Stevenson questions why temples appear in Revelation, what they symbolise and whether this is representative of ideas of symbolism in the contemporary world.
