Would you like to know more than the name, identifying characteristics and range of dragonflies? Would you like to know how to attract them to your (water) garden, learn about both their prehistory and history, rearing the larvae, and even photographing them? This book, which is lavishly photographed to the point of rivaling any 'coffee table' book, will help you with these subjects and more. The gentlemen who brought us the digital dragonfly website have teamed up to produce this amazing book. They even included a section on digiscoping and scanning dragonflies. True enthusiasts will appreciate the section on colloquial names in English, Spanish and other languages. We see alot of books, and this one frankly took us by surprise with it's beauty, quality & quantity of information and value for it's price.
Hardcover; 224 pages; 8 1/2x11; 224 pp.; 133 color photos. April 2005.
