COMMON DRAGONFLIES OF THE SOUTHWEST:
"I heartily recommend this little volume for anyone wanting to identify dragons and
damsels ...., whether just occasionally while engaged in other outdoor pursuits, or as a serious hobby.
- Bruce Deuel, CA Fish & Game, an avid birder and dragonflier
"For the price of $10.95 this is indeed a"must have" for anyone who wants to start
studying these beautiful insects."
- Hank Brodkin , SEABA newsletter editor (South East Arizona Butterfly Association)
"While claiming to be just a beginner's guide, it is well suited to the serious amateur as
well."
- Rich Bailowitz, Arizona entomologist and author of Butterflies of the Southwest."
"I never had any idea there were so many different types of dragonflies! . a wonderful book! .We will be featuring it as a stocking stuffer too!"
- Frank Dodge, Wild Bird Center, Colorado Springs, CO
"This delightful field guide, measuring only 4.5" x 5.25", small enough to be carried everywhere,
includes 129 common dragonflies and damselflies of the six states of the southwest--California, Arizona, New Mexico,
Utah, Nevada and Colorado, my home state. Of the 350 superb colored photographs, almost half show dragons AND damsels
much larger than life, showing their bright colors and intricate patterns in amazing detail. All 129 males are pictured
and most of the females. And this small book is packed with an incredible amount of information: descriptions of males and
females, their habitats, flight periods and often their habits. Each family has its own page, making identification easier.
There's a glossary and references and an invaluable list of websites for further information, including one prepared just
for this book. An extended checklist of all 189 species tells you at a glance which species live in which states. Although
the author titles it for beginners, this book is useful for almost everyone with an interest in dragonflies--and it's hard
not to be fascinated by these beautiful creatures. Dragonflying is becoming increasingly popular as birders and butterfliers
take up dragonflying as well, and this book is a winner for those dragonfliers of the southwest!."
- Lynn Monroe, author, Butterflies & their Plants, Anza-Borrego State Park and Environs
"C D S's Color photographs along with index, maps, bibliography, glossary, checklist, frequently asked questions, description of life cycle, and list of related websites bring everything anyone has ever wanted to know about dragonflies and damselflies all in one easy-to-use location.
[Dragonflies] with common characteristics are grouped together for ease in finding them."
- Kate Garmise, Ajo Copper News, AZ, April 2004
"CDSW is truly a wonderful book, very good photos, reproduced in fine detail and color
...[with] one species to each page, I like that."- Curt Williams, TX entomologist
