Pam Taylor, Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine
«This new book by three renowned French entomologists ... is a true tour-de-force. A tremendous amount of thought has gone into its overall design and lay-out. Crammed with superb crisp colour photographic portraits of all relevant Odonata species, each annotated (but not too much) to draw attention to specific identification features, it is a really joy to use. A bench mark publication.»
John Badmin, Journal of Entomology and Natural History
