I especially appreciated their emphasis on habitat; Beetle Conservation =

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Beetles of ENA
I just received my copy of this book. It's beautifully laid out with =
great photography. There are introductory chapters on anatomy, capture =
techniques (including ethics) and more. There is a pictorial key to =
common beetle families. Pictorial keys are a lot more work to create, =
but tonnes easier to use. From just flipping through, it looks like one =
species per genus of beetles is illustrated...I have not gone through =
the whole book though to see if that's consistent. But wait! I just =
checked one of my favourite families, the Silphidae (Carrion Beetles) =
and there are six Burying Beetles (genus Nicrophorus) illustrated; it =
must be a favourite of the author as well!
The only critique I have is that the References section is "Selected =
References". I realize that a full References section for a book this =
size would count in the many hundreds, likely over a thousand =
references, but none-the-less, it would have been nice.
