There are more than 50 000 species of spiders. They surround us in our daily lives and, contrary to popular belief, the vast majority are completely harmless to humans. In Silk & Venom, James OHanlon takes us from his backyard to all corners of the globe (and even outer space!) to explore these fascinating creatures and show us why theyre not so scary after all.

Youll encounter everything from miniscule jumping spiders with super intelligence to giant tarantulas whose venom could one day save your life. Clearing up spider myths and misconceptions, James OHanlon introduces readers to the beauty of their lives, including remarkable hunting techniques, the fascinating engineering of spider silk and the spiders that live in extremes from underwater to the slopes of Mount Everest.
