## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning photos
*by K***E on August 20, 2025*

This book is contains beautiful color photography of the various dragonflies. I have yet to start reading it…still enamored with all the stunning pictures.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Academic “Coffee Table” Book
*by J***K on August 11, 2021*

“Dragonflies and Damselflies: A Natural History” by Dennis Paulson; Princeton University Press; © 2019; 224 pages, hardcover.While the many color photos make this a worthwhile candidate for a non-entomologist to browse–it will take considerable time–the discussion in the three chapters is in smaller print and of academic rigor, and as the author states, is “peering into every aspect of the lives of these complex animals.”Chapter 1 discusses what defines a dragonfly, from classification to body plan to size, coloration, habitat and thermoregulation. One or two good-resolution photos are on most pages and serve to illustrate the concepts discussed. Each of the first five chapters then ends with species profiles that pair photos with various interesting features of the species, often discussing the current debates on various aspects from function of unique anatomy to evolutionary history.Chapter 2 describes their “superlative flight,” the necessary vision required, their foraging and diet, predators and parasites.Chapter 3 addresses mating and the laying of eggs (oviposition), well-illustrated in the eleven species profiled.Chapter 4 describes the life cycle, from hatching, larval life, metamorphosis, seasonality, dispersal and migration and longevity.Relationships between dragonflies and people constitutes the fifth chapters. This includes cultural factors, research, education, and conservation.Chapter 6 does not provide species profiles but looks at the diversity and phylogenetic evolution.The book concludes with a glossary, further resources on odonates, an index and acknowledgments.As beautiful as this book is, the immense knowledge presented accurately will not be very meaningful to persons who remain indoors in urban and suburban settings. I could hope that for at least a few young readers, this book would motivate them to wander outside and into nature, leaving any digital devices in their pockets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book
*by T***D on August 21, 2024*

This book is full of photographs and very informative. I so appreciate that it came in plastic wrap and in perfect condition.
