great book

This is a great book - it opened me up to the world of dragon flies. They aren't as easy to id as butterflies but this book gives you a great resource. I used to find myself sitting out in the garden looking at butterflies and seeing dragonflies I'd wonder what type it was - this book helps - but I'm not very good at the id yet. Practice....

This work is a masterpiece of boilogical life. - Roozbeh

Having Dunkle as a proffesor, I know that his book is as wonderful as his teaching. This book is a must for nature lovers, and even biology lovers. No one, except Dr. Dunkle, can know all the species of dragonflies that lie in Texas and its surroundings. If you are going to get a book, get one you can actually use your whole life. And once you read his book, i recommend you take his class also. You will learn many wonderful things from a very respectable and knowledgable teacher.

This book is very good.

I have had Dunkle as a college professor, and his books are as good as his teaching. This book is a must if you love dragonflies. The book shows that a lot of work was involved, and it is a masterpiece which shows the many species of dragonflies. I am definitely looking forward to Dr. Dunkle's next masterpiece.

Coolest Book on Dragonflies!

I never thought dragonflies were cool or anything neat...until now! and it's all because of this new book DRAGONFLIES through BINOCULARS. My mom, the nature lover in the family, always wants us to look at this insect doing this or that one dipping in the pond. This new book Dragonflies through Binoculars makes everything so much clearer. It's neat to see what these fast moving creatures look like. If I can tear the book away from my mom, I'll sneak out and try the dragonfly watching sport! It would make a great gift for anybody interested in insects!

The Dragonfly-Lovers "Bible"-A MUST for Naturalists!

Superb photographs with direct and accurate descriptions makes this book an absolute must for everyone! Sidney W.Dunkle does an excellent job of guiding the first time enthusiast into the new sport of dragonfly watching. The more experienced "odonatist" will truly enjoy the best-ever collection of clear photos of living dragonflies. The author explains everything: what binoculars to use, where to look, how to photograph them, clubs and organizations to join, and how to identify these magnificent creatures without capturing them. The book has details on mating rituals, life cycles and easy to use maps. I've needed a book like this for years and can't wait for the excitement of dragonfly watching to explode with popularity.
