This review is from: Spiders of the World (Of the World Series) (Paperback)

This book is geared to someone looking for information on the general habits of spiders. It has a great section on web building and habitats. This book does contains some pictures , but not for the purpose of classification of specific spiders.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a nice book, August 9, 2001

Greg Rice (Idaho Falls, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiders of the World (Of the World Series) (Paperback)

This is just a nice book. It has some fascinating information about the structure, biology, and life history of spiders. It has some very nice pictures, especially of jumping spiders which the authors seem to have a special affinity for. It is NOT a field guide, and it's not meant to be, it's a very nice introduction to the fascinating world of the spider.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Spiders of the World (Of the World Series) (Hardcover)

This is a textbook for my class and it is very helpful for the basic study of spiders. It includes information on classification, external and internal structure of spiders, as well as mating, maternal care, and other behavioral studies.
Great illustrations for studying!
