"That Britain's Dragonflies is on its third edition already is a sure sign of how well regarded and popular this field guide has become since its first publication in 2004. This edition takes the guide a stage further than the previous two and has been thoroughly updated and revised with new photographs, text, and up-to-date distribution maps... This is the definitive, must have guide to the dragonflies of Britain and Ireland and as the most comprehensive field guide of its type, it will surely find a place on the bookshelves of all keen dragonfly watchers and those with a more general interest in the wildlife of Great Britain. Highly Recommended."--Mark Tyrrell, British Dragonflies "The deluge of information is well presented and a subject that could easily daunt a budding odonatologist is in fact made entirely digestible. If you haven't already got a copy, it's well worth investing ... in this revamped edition of Britain's Dragonflies to ensure that you're in good stead for a summer of insect-watching."--Josh Jones, BirdGuides.com "A delight for anyone interested in these flying gems (dragonflies being relatives of butterflies), the ecology and biology of wetlands, those interested in conservation and collecting data on biodiversity and species identification, and wildlife watchers in general."--Cathy Taibbi, Wildlife Conservation Examiner "As a desktop reference guide it is clear and concise. As a 'use in the field' reference guide it is portable and perfectly designed... Recommended? Absolutely."--Mark Colvin, UK Butterflies "If you're simply in the market for a book on these gorgeous and fascinating insects, then the WILDGuides field guide to the damselflies and dragonflies of Britain and Ireland is highly recommended."--Charlie Moores, Talking Naturally "You may already be familiar with this or other titles in WildGuides' Britain's Wildlife series: they're popular, informative and pocketable photographic field guides, and the Dragonflies title is no exception."--Bird Guides "I am a fan of these WILDGuides and like the pattern they follow and the practical waterproof jacket too as these books will not sit on the shelf but will be in one hand while you try to pin down a dragonfly when out birding or ID a damselfly at your garden pond."--Fatbirder "It is outstanding. Most importantly, it contains absolutely everything you need for confident field identification of any UK dragonfly or damselfly. The authors have really thought this through... Highly recommended!"--Guy Padfield, UK Butterflies "This current edition will now set the standard for others to try and achieve and Princeton University Press is to be congratulated on its initiative. For people interested in dragonflies, this will be a 'bible' for many years to come. For the rest of the summer it will be in my car to use on any fieldwork."--Ray Collier, North Star "This book is a stunning piece of work, with its pages just bursting with information... If you have any interest in British dragonflies, buy this book."--Neil Bowman, Birdwatch Magazine "This book will delight any dragonfly enthusiast."--Dan Tallman's Bird Blog "The only comprehensive photographic field guide of its kind."--Ireland's Wildlife "[ T]his is a genuine field-guide; like the 2nd edition it is supplied with a substantial clear plastic jacket to help keep the book clean and dry, and it is certainly compact enough to carry in a bag or large pocket... [ T]his is an impressive and eminently practical guide to this increasingly popular group of insects, and at a very reasonable price."--Peter C. Barnard, Entomologist's Monthly Magazine "It is written in an accessible style that will appeal to anyone interested in discovering more about this fascinating group of insects."--Great Outdoors "This is an essential buy for anyone interested in the Odonata and worth every penny."--Bryan Sage, Country-Side "There is no doubt that this is a well-written and illustrated, informative, practical field guide that should appeal to anyone interested in Odonata."--Graham A. Collins, Entomologist's Gazette "This fully revised and updated third edition is a must... Indeed, I cannot think of anything that is missing."--Helen Ashton, Reference Reviews "If you are at all interested in the Odonata and/or are going to Britain or Ireland, I would highly recommend having this valuable field guide with you."--Julia Mlynarek, Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Canada
