Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East

"I truly believe that if there is such a thing as the 'must-have' book, Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East is IT... It contains all 336 species of Odonata that have been found in eastern North America. Not just dragons or just damsels, [but] all Odonata. That means ONE book for everything. It has excellent full-color photographs that are large enough to see many of coloration and patterns that are important... The species accounts are well-done with reference to similar species when appropriate. The natural history summaries for genera are very good, and valuable information for any ode enthusiast."--Mark O?Brien, Michigan Odonotes blog "This is a beautiful book, a joy to hold and to look at. Although it is a paperback, it is printed on sturdy glossy paper that will hold up well in the field... [I] recommend it as an essential field guide to the dragonflies."--Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist blog "This is an excellent landmark field guide that belongs in every naturalist's collection."--Donna Schulman, 10,000 Birds "[A] terrific volume that will be very popular among odonate enthusiasts in the East."--Choice
