Spiders have a problem, and it's us. Despite their magnificent
talents for crafting webs, capturing mosquitoes, and camouflage,
for millennia arachnophobia has hampered our ability to appreciate
these eight-legged and -eyed marvels. No longer! In this witty,
accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Eleanor Spicer Rice
and Christopher M. Buddle metamorphose creepy-crawly revulsion into
spider wonder. Emerging from ambitious citizen science project Your
Wild Life (an initiative based at North Carolina State University),
Dr. Eleanor's Book of Spiders with Chris Buddle provides an
eye-opening arachnological overview of the natural history of
species most noted by project participants, showcasing some of the
fascinating spiders found in our attics and tents, front lawns and
forests and even introducing us to spiders that fish. Exploring
species from the tiny (but gymnastic) zebra jumping spider to the
naturally shy and woefully misunderstood black widow, this guide
will be a tremendous resource for teachers, students, and
scientists alike. But more than this, it will transform the way we
perceive the environment around us by deepening our understanding
of its littlest inhabitants, inspiring all of us to find our inner
naturalist, get outside, and crawl across the dirt magnifying glass
in hand.
