Donald Broadley's first publication on the snakes of Southern Rhodesia was published in the Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (Harvard) in 1958, and covered 64 species. By the time the field guide, Snakes of Rhodesia, by Broadley SL Cock was published by Longmans in 1975 (reprinted in 1982 and 1988 as Snakes of Zimbabwe), the number of species had risen to 76.
Dr Roger Blaylock, a retired Zimbabwean surgeon now working as a consultant in South Africa, has written the chapter on snake venoms and the treatment of snake bite. Roger Blaylock is currently a specialist surgeon and has personally sustained 9 venomous snake bites and hundreds of non-venomous bites. He became a member of the Herpetological Association in Rhodesia in 1958 and has continued his membership to the Herpetological Association of Africa to date. He has 22 published articles concerning snakebite in peer reviewed medical journals or books and obtained a MMedSc cum laude for a thesis entitled “The Clinical Natural History of Snakebite Victims in Southern Africa” in 2000 and an MD for the thesis “The Syndronomic and Specific Management of Snakebite in Southern Africa” in 2002. The clinical photographs were taken by this author.A Quick Note About Our Prices
We know everyone is feeling the pinch with cost-of-living pressures right now, and we’ve been working hard to keep our prices as steady as possible. As a small business, we do our very best to keep our prices fair. Like many small businesses, we’re seeing the cost of products continuing to rise. For us, this comes from a mix of things—overseas exchange rates, (most of our book stock comes from overseas), higher freight charges, and the smaller discounts we receive from wholesalers compared to big chains. On top of that, pay-later service fees also add to the challenge.
When the dollar fluctuates, or when shipping costs and product costs rise, the price we’re charged for new stock also changes. Every order to replenish stock can bring different costs, which means we sometimes need to adjust our prices to match. We’ve worked hard to absorb as much of this as possible, but each new order can bring new prices, and sometimes we need to adjust ours to keep up. We always keep changes to a minimum, and we remain committed to offering you the best value we can.
Please know we only change prices when it’s unavoidable, and we’re so grateful for your support in helping us keep on doing what we love, and keep on bringing you the books you love.
