Well worth the wait October 13, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Like most of the recent new naturalists, this book was well worth the wait. The previous new naturalist on the subject was published in 1960, and has been out of print and eagerly sought by collectors for many years. This new volume brings in the many changes to our understanding of the group that have occurred since then, and does so in a readable and understandable way. My only real irritation with the volume is the "double handling" necessary to get to a reference, as other reviewers have mentioned. All in all though, a great addition to the series.
