Excellent source of information,
By Rebecca A. Hendrix (Tampa, Fl USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Damselflies of North America (Hardcover)
I am a graduate student who is using the book as a resource for my thesis. I have found the information to be clear and concise. Often there are areas where it is hard for someone to identify an organism and these authors are clear in stating when there may be some controversy. I have also found the listing of resources used by the authors quite valuable. They have done an excellent search through the scientific literature for their information. Both authors are well known in the field of odonate research and have earned the position.

The Absolute Standard for Damselflies of North America,
By
This review is from: Damselflies of North America (Hardcover)
It is hard to compare "Damselflies of North America" with any other work on the subject because there simply are none! That said, it is a real pleasure to see the only book in its field be also one that would shine as the best if there were hundreds of similar books. I only wish such a book was available for some other arthropod taxa! Damselflies have generally taken second place to their generally larger and faster flying relatives, the dragonflies. Thus this book fills a very real gap in the literature. With the color photos and detailed descriptions and keys this book will be the standard for many years to come. All odontologists who have some interest in the damselflies should own a copy!

Information on this guide...,
By Thomas E. Springer III (Baltimore, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Damselflies of North America (Hardcover)
Unfortunately I cannot locate a copy of this text for myself, and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I'm a soon-to-be graduate student and a current resource management employee for the Franklin County Metro Parks (Ohio), and would greatly value this addition to my library. If anyone has valuable information, please contact me at feric25@hotmail.com. Thank you.
