Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Feared and worshiped in equal measure, snakes have captured the imagination of poets, painters, and philosophers for centuries. From Ice Age cave drawings to Snakes on a Plane, this creature continues to enthrall the public. But what harm has been caused by our mythologizing? While considering the dangers of stigma, Erica Wright moves from art and pop culture to religion, fetish, and ecologic disaster. This book considers how the snake has become more symbol than animal, a metaphor for how we treat whatever scares us the most, whether or not our panic is justified. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic.

Winner, 2020 National Outdoor Book Award, Nature and the Environment Snakes inspire extreme reactions. Love or hate these limbless reptiles, almost everyone is fascinated by them. Although snakes are widespread and frequently encountered, they may be more misunderstood than any other group of animals. From giant rattlesnakes to mating dances, there are dozens of myths and misconceptions about snakes. In Secrets of Snakes: The Science beyond the Myths, wildlife biologist David Steen tackles the most frequently asked questions and clears up prevailing myths. In a conversational style with a bit of humor, Steen presents the relevant biology and natural history of snakes, making the latest scientific research accessible to a general audience. When addressing myths about snakes, he explains how researchers use the scientific method to explain which parts of the myth are biologically plausible and which are not. Steen also takes a close look at conventional wisdom and common advice about snakes. For example, people are told they can distinguish coralsnakes from non-venomous mimics by remembering the rhyme, “red on black, friend of Jack, red on yellow, kill a fellow,” but this tip is only relevant to coralsnakes and two mimics living in the southeastern United States, and it does not always work with other species or in other countries. Enhanced by more than 100 stunning color photographs and three original drawings, Secrets of Snakes: The Science beyond the Myths encourages readers to learn about the snakes around them and introduces them to how scientists use the scientific method and critical thinking to learn about the natural world.

In my work as a snake catcher and educator I see an enormous amount of anxiety, fear and misinformation about snakes that hampers people's ability to enjoy the beautiful environment around them, and that leads to people making inappropriate and sometimes dangerous decisions around snakes.Kids are naturally curious and many are determined to take snakes home in backpacks, or stuff them in lunchboxes to impress their friends or scare their siblings. Sometimes they just want to see what snakes feel like. Yes, these are all things we have heard out of children's mouths!I started writing this book about six years ago as a way to support the community education we do about snakes. A book sitting on a shelf or beside the bed 24/7 can educate kids about snakes in an entertaining way. I want the book to be pulled out and read over and over again. I want more than a rushed few minutes talking with kids at the school fair.This book gives kids and grownups a shared opportunity to bust all the fear, all the lies and all the myths surrounding these stunningly beautiful and amazingly adapted animals.Much love,Veronika
