Book Review: Songs of Insects
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always wondered what was making the noise one hears in the late summer and fall in the woods of the midwest. I purchased "Songs of Insects" to see if I could identify what was making those sounds. The book was better than I expected, each insect is photographed beautifully and the CD with the book has each insect clearly introduced with the recorded call of each insect that follows.
Summary of The Songs of Insects
The Songs of Insects is a celebration of the chirps, trills, and scrapes of seventy-seven common species of crickets, katydids, locusts, and cicadas native to eastern and central North America. The photographs in this book will surprise and delight all who behold them. Many of the insects' colors are brilliant and jewellike, and they are displayed beautifully here. This book and accompanying CD provide a unique doorway to enjoyment of the insect concerts and solos that dominate our natural soundscape during the summer and autumn. The text includes information on the natural history of insects, identification tips, and an appreciation of insect song. A seventy-minute audio CD features high-quality recordings of the songs of all species, track-keyed to the information presented in the text.Nature & Wildlife Books
