This authoritative field guide by Kahn is the result of decades of dedicated research into the snakes of Pakistan. More than just a catalog of species, the book combines rigorous scientific detail with accessible tools for field identification, including species keys, detailed line drawings, color photographs, and over 20 distribution maps.
Beyond taxonomy, the guide also explores the cultural and historical significance of snakes on the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent. A comprehensive chapter on snakebites provides vital insights into venomous species, the dangers of envenomation, and practical advice for identification and response
