A wonderful book,
By Darwin Researcher (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eight-Legged Marvels: Beauty and Design in the World of Spiders (Paperback)
A wonderful book with beautiful color pictures on each page that show the variety and wonder of spiders. Feared by many, they are actually very useful for humans because they destroy harmful insects, such as flies and mosquitoes, among other disease carrying pests. One thing that amazes me is the enormous variety of spiders and their different lifestyles, all described in detail in this book. Highly recommended for all ages from Jr. High School age persons to college graduates, this readable coffee table book will both entertain and inform.
