The acclaimed naturalist offers an in-depth profile of the timber rattlesnake, from its unique biological adaptations to its role in American history. The ominous rattle of the timber rattlesnake is one of the most famous—and terrifying—sounds in nature. Today, they are found in thirty-one states and many major cities. Yet most Americans have never seen a timber rattler, and only know them from movies or our frightened imaginations. Ted Levin aims to change that with America’s Snake. This portrait of the timber rattler explores its significance in American frontier history, and sheds light on the heroic efforts to protect the species against habitat loss, climate change, and the human tendency to kill what we fear. Taking us from labs where the secrets of the snake’s evolutionary adaptations are being unlocked to far-flung habitats that are protected by dedicated herpetologists, Levin paints a picture of a fascinating creature: peaceable, social, long-lived, and, despite our phobias, not inclined to bite. The timber rattler emerges here as an emblem of America, but also of the struggles involved in protecting the natural world. A wonderful mix of natural history, travel writing, and exemplary journalism, America’s Snake is loaded with remarkable characters—none more so than the snake itself: frightening, fascinating, and unforgettable.

Can you visualize what Eve saw when "her eyes were opened" from the effects of her "apple break" in Genesis 2 and 3? What was the snake expecting to gain from this adventure? These and many other questions are discussed in Apples and Snakes. The book provides many insights for personal growth resulting from Eve's apple and snake encounter. The format can also be used for small group study as well. Discussion questions are included. The fall of humanity from God's grace has many lessons for everyday living even today. The book divides the lessons into six sections: the apple; the knowledge; the consequences, and the final sacrifice. The lessons are explored with the use of questions and examples. Some of the questions serve as chapter titles. The examples are from the author's experiences with friends, business associates, and family.
