Book Reviews of Dragonflies through Binoculars: A Field Guide to Dragonflies of North America (Butterflies and Others Through Binoculars Field Guide Series)

Book Review: Too many ignorant reviews for this fantastic book.
Summary: 5 Stars

I generally don't bother to write reviews because others have usually stated my sentiments. However, I felt compelled to add another 5* review to compensate for the many whining, unfair customer reviews. Dragonflies Through Binoculars is a precise, well-researched book with execellent photographs and accompanying text that will be loved by all who have the patience necessary for studying these amazing creature. Some reviewers complained about the book's lack of damselflies, a pathetic complaint considering the book's title mentions nothing about including them. Another person stated that he had difficulty differentiated between dragonflies and damselflies and used that as a way to criticize the book. It is a shame that some adults have to be reminded to THINK before they speak (or in this case write). Stop complaining and start investing the time required to use the book properly. If you want instant satisfaction, go play monopoly with a five year old. Anyone dedicated to the study of our natural world will LOVE this book.

Summary of Dragonflies through Binoculars: A Field Guide to Dragonflies of North America (Butterflies and Others Through Binoculars Field Guide Series)

Dragonfly-watching is fast becoming an enjoyable and exciting hobby for many of those who love butterfly-watching.

This book picks up on that trend and brings it to the reader in an attractive and accessible format. A new addition to Oxford's acclaimed Butterflies through Binoculars series of field guides, Dragonflies through Binoculars allows for quick and easy identification of all the 300-plus species of dragonflies that have been found in the United States and Canada. In these well-illustrated pages, Sidney W. Dunkle answers any query the beginner or expert might have on the subject of dragonfly-watching on this continent--what kind of binoculars to buy, where to start looking for dragonflies, how to photograph these striking creatures, which clubs or societies to join, and so forth. Other important features for this handy field guide include detailed accounts of every species mentioned, useful information on habitats, explanations of mating rituals, full-color photographs of most of the species described, and range maps.
