Reviews of Common Dragonflies of California:
"Common Dragonflies of California is great! It fills
the niche in California Wildlife field-guides that was begging to be occupied!
The color balance is dead-on reality. With its petite dimensions and light
weight, it should ride in the pocket or backpack of every naturalist, hiker and
biker in the state from May through September." - Rich Stallcup, PRBO CA,
author Pelagic Birds of Monterey Bay
"Common Dragonflies of California is an uncommon
book. Full of sound advice and chock full of excellent color photos, this book
will be of great interest to any California nature lover. I am the kind of
person who loves to know the name of every tree, shrub, flower, reptile, bird
and fish that I see. Now that I have this little jewel, I'm going to learn how
to identify the dragonflies too. The more we learn about nature, the more
enjoyment we get from it. I highly recommend this fine book! I expect it would
make a great present too, for the right person." - Tom Ogren, author
of Allergy-Free Gardening
"...beautifully laid out, concise, informative, and the
photographs are wonderful. It's altogether a little jewel, and lends veracity to
the old saying, 'good things come in small packages'."
Ty Brown, Salazar Library, Sonoma State University
Common Dragonflies of California, is a welcome and
much-needed reference. The photos and descriptions are great and the website
adds to the usefulness and is sure to increase our knowledge of the statewide
distribution of species. I have been saying for years that this field guide
was needed. Gary Santolo, Environmental Scientist
....a nice little pocket-sized guide....photographs are
clear....I certainly recommend this publication to anyone interested in Odonata,
and at $10.00, it's a bargain.

"The text is concise and very much to the point, the photographs
and diagrams are excellent, ... a wonderful job on the layout." - John
Smail, UC Office of the President
"A delightfully complete compact distillation of
dragonfly data!" - Jeffrey A. Caldwell, California Garden Habitat
