A wildlife conservation legend affectionately hailed as the “Snakeman of India,” ROMULUS WHITAKER has had a lifelong love affair with the “fierce creatures” that share our planet. Snakes, Drugs and Rock ’n’ Roll: My Early Years is the first volume of his memoir and brings to life the India of the 1950s and the U.S. of the ’60s, co-written with his wife, columnist and author JANAKI LENIN. Joining them are conservationist NAIA HANNAH HAAST and biologist JOE WASILEWSKI of the nonprofit King Cobra Conservancy; introduction by wildlife photographer, documentarian, writer, and TV host RON MAGILL.
