A Field Guide to Venomous Animals and Poisonous Plants of North America North of Mexico by Steven Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful field guide with clear descriptions and color photos of the most poisonous animals & plants. The introduction also presented the facts and likelihoods (not to be overly concerned to the point of not venturing outside) and what to do.
Being in Colorado and on paths with my dog, I thought this was a read well over due! Also, many backyard plants are poisonous!
I also learned that a short-tailed SHREW is a venomous animal!! Of course, descriptions are clear what really can kill you. (An adult human bitten by a shrew won't die)
Furthermore, the introduction was wonderful!
'An animal is either dangerous or harmless. In either case, the animal should be left in peace.'
