"The coverage is impressive: the freshwater book goes from moths and snakes to amoebas and cilates. . . [This book] should find a ready audience amongst budding natural historians and, in these days when we teach less taxonomy to undergraduates, may well we find a place on field trips and in practical classes to help in placing the more obvious organisms into some sort of taxonomic perspective."--
ulletin of the British Ecological Society"The small Creatures guides are an excellent introduction to the wide range of invertebrates. . .The fresh water volume also contains a short section on fish, amphibians and reptiles found in this habitat, plus a glossary. . .[This book] will make an excellent addition to the library of any one with an interest in natural history and should help stimulate a new generation of entomologists."--
