This book is composed of a series of topics written by experts in the field. The authors have done a nice job covering the 12 topics in the book. The 61 page bibliography is very helpful in finding useful articles.

Currently, this is the most comprehensive offering in regards to a complete understanding and knowledge of scorpions. A bit dated but most of the material is still valid and valuable for a beyond the basics understanding of scorpions. From life history, reproduction and behavior to venoms and scorpionism, this book offers something for everyone looking to understand these maligned, persecuted and misunderstood animals in an objective light.

This is currently the best scorpion book available. The late Gary A. Polis was the world's leading scorpion ecology expert until his tragic death. With chapters written by the world's leading authorities, this book involves all aspects of scorpion biology and can be enjoyed by both researchers and hobbyists. An essential book for all interested in scorpions.

There are quit a few book from Gary A. Polis that are kind of good,,
you can order them all here in amazon.ca.

Brings together much important information on a little studied subject. Refers to virtually all scorpion related publications to date of book. A VERY handy field manual if supported by more specific literature.
