SPIDERS AND THEIR KIN

a Golden Guide

This book is probably the best guide for identifying American spiders that I have read. Although it does not go into much detail on the spiders' lives it is full of excellent colour illustrations.

The book covers some many North American species as well as a few from around the world. The text is easy to understand but is not too simplistic and is a good starting point for anyone beginning to learn about spiders.

The book also includes information on other non-insect arthropods including ticks, mites, centipedes and crabs.

BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS

By Bill McAuliffe

This book is aimed at a yound audience and as a result the language is very basic. There is, however, some very interesting information and a selection of excellent photographs on offer here.

The simplistic language may put off older readers but children of any age will no doubt love learning about this fascinating spider.
