‘A valuable and engaging update of the classic New Naturalist volume on the Odonata.’
BBC Wildlife
Praise for the New Naturalist series:
A History of Ornithology by Peter Bircham:
‘Bircham has found for himself a distinctive ecological niche by dwelling on the evolving science, rather than ornithology as social process or field activity … he has produced a thorough and valuable contribution to the field’
Mark Cocker, The Guardian
The Isles of Scilly by Rosemary Parslow:
'This is a fully rounded and wonderfully detailed natural history of England's only ocean archipelago. It works on several levels, as a guide, as a wildlife encyclopaedia and as a lyrical celebration of a special place. Rosemary Parslow has written a classic book to add to the remarkable swell of New Naturalist masterpieces in recent years.'
