Many of the
insects' colors are brilliant and jewellike, and they are
displayed beautifully here. This book and accompanying CD
provide a unique doorway to enjoyment of the insect concerts
and solos that dominate our natural soundscape during the
summer and autumn. The text includes basic natural history
information as well as identification tips and discussions
of conservation issues -- such as insects as indicators of
habitat health -- insects as pets, and appreciation of
insect song. The sonagrams included in the book help toward
that end, as does the seventy-minute audio CD, which
features high-quality recordings of the songs of all
species, track-keyed to the information presented in the text.
