3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information on a relatively few species, May 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Identifying Spiders: The New Compact Study Guide and Identifier (Identifying Guide Series) (Hardcover)

Excellent photographs and concise descriptions of appearance and habitat for each species covered; unfortunately, there are significant gaps in the species list. Written with an emphasis on European species, with some specialty North American and Asian species also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Book for young scientists!, April 20, 2011

Children love this book. It is filled with fascinating information on hundreds of species of arachnid. The photographs are astounding. I highly recommend this book for children over the age of 5 through middle school as a good resource for spider study. The photo of the kukulcania arizonica will make your skin crawl!
