[Odonata-l] Fwd: DRAGONFLY GENERA now available from JHUPress

[Dennis Paulson]

I have just received a copy of this book, and it's everything the  
publisher claims, a really fine work by Rosser Garrison, Natalia von  
Ellenrieder, and Jerry Louton. The amount of research they put into  
this book is prodigious, and it's worth buying just for the hundreds  
of original drawings. There is a small but nice set of color photos  
also, mostly of neotropical species. I think it's a good buy with the  
20% discount.
