Reseña del editor:
This new identification guide to all the dragonflies and damselflies of Britain and Europe brings together some of the top field experts from across the Continent with Richard Lewington, generally accepted to be Europe's foremost illustrator of insects. The guide covers the whole of Europe from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean basin, including western Turkey, Cyprus, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and the Azores, Canaries and Madeira. It includes almost 1,000 superbly detailed artworks, line drawings and photographs of all 160 species found in Europe; up-to-date newly researched distribution maps; and, a comprehensive introduction. It is a unique county-by-country guide to finding dragonflies throughout Europe.
Biografía del autor:
Klaas-Douwe KD B Dijkstra developed an interest in natural history as a child living in Egypt. Here he made his first observations of dragonflies as a 12-year-old, having to invent his own scientific names for them because he had no literature. The discovery of the first Anax ephippiger in The Netherlands in 1995 incited an active involvement in Dutch dragonfly work. KD was a founding member of the Dutch society for odonatology in 1997, as editor of its journal Brachytron, and co-edited and co-authored the handbook of Dutch Odonata published in 2002. He obtained an MSc in biology at Leiden University in 1998, developing a passion for Africa during fieldwork in Uganda in 1995. As a research associate of the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis in The Netherlands, KD has worked on the systematics and biogeography of tropical African Odonata since 2001. In 2005, he shared the Worldwide Dragonfly Association outstanding achievement award for this work.
