An unforgettable expedition in the jungle of Burma

In the fall of 2001, Dr. Joe Slowinski, one of the most brilliant biologists of his time, led a scientific expedition in the Himalayan foothills. During this ambitious quest for rare snakes, Joe was bitten by a deadly many-banded krait. Despite immediate help, he survived the next thirty hours thanks to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from his team, while they waited for a rescue that never came.

About Joe Slowinski and his legacy
As a driven explorer and specialist in venomous snakes, Slowinski discovered many new species and established his name in science. His tragic final expedition shows the struggle between man and nature in rugged, inhospitable areas of the world.

The Snake Charmer offers an engaging mix of biography, travelogue, and accessible introduction to the fascinating world of snake science. The story takes the reader from the Everglades to Peru and Burma.
