Anmeldelser

"Europe’s Dragonflies is not only comprehensive, but beautifully presented, and I find myself referring to it regularly during the spring and summer months. . . . Surely an essential book to add to your library"---Frank Lambert, Frank Lambert Birding

"This is a very useful field guide, packed with information, that specialists could employ to identify species in the field and that more generalist natural historians would surely want for wider reference. It is a very nice addition to the study of these magnificent insects; it will further widen public awareness of their beauty and the relative fragility of their habitats."---Andrew Wakeham-Dawson, Entomologist's Monthly Magazine

"This is a truly excellent field guide, containing a wealth of detailed and well-presented information. It has much to recommend it to those whose interest in Odonata is now starting to expand beyond British shores."---Adrian Parr, Atropos

"A wealth of information packed into concise, image-rich content in a careful layout designed to provide the most helpful cues along the quickest and easiest route to identification."---Chris Sharpe, Curious Naturalist

"Simply brilliant."---Roy Stewart, Country-Side

"A first-rate full-colour identification guide."---John Badmin, British Journal of Entomology and Natural History

"Glorious guide."---Alan Wright, Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside Wildlife Trust

"A brilliant book collection . . . each volume is a colourful, fact-filled introduction to the animals, insects, plants and habitats that makes watching wildlife so fascinating."---Stuart Winter, Sunday Express

"This photographic guide to Europe’s dragonflies is amazing, although WILDGuides have built up such a reputation for producing high quality books of this sort that it doesn’t come as a surprise really. But it is still amazing. . . . It is a marvel of concise clear information transfer."---Mark Avery, Mark Avery Blog

"

A stunning book which I thoroughly recommend. It is aesthetically pleasing as well as having a vast amount of information to assist any Odonata enthusiast or general naturalist identifying Odonata on their travels through Europe.

"---Neil Anderson, London Naturalist

"A very comprehensive guide to the adult species of European Odonata which is richly illustrated and packed with information."---Andy Chick, Amateur Entomological Society

"

I’ve been a big fan of the WILDGuides series from the first publication . . . they are my first port of call. I already have the WILDGuides for British species, now I can venture into Europe’s wild and wet places . . . looking for these aerial jewels. Take a look and you will want it… this comprehensive and easy to read guide has it all!

"---Bo Beolens, Fat Birder

"This field guide features all the hallmarks we have come to expect from Princeton University Press in their WildGuides series. . . . An easy-to-read style means the book will appeal to dragonfly enthusiasts of all ages and standards. It will surely become the go-to textbook guide for Odonata."---Eric Brown, News Shopper
