This is a remarkable piece of work. Highly recommended. -- Jan von Tol Tifjschrift voor Entomologie 2010 This book easily lives up to the expectations promised by the dragonfly volume, including comprehensive, extremely well illustrated keys. -- Dennis Paulson Florida Entomologist 2010 This book is essential for anyone with an interest in Odonata biodiversity and those involved in the conservation of New World wetlands, for which Odonata are important indicators of habitat quality.
