One of the only books to treat the whole spider, from its behavior
and physiology to its neurobiology and reproductive
characteristics, Biology of Spiders is considered a classic in
spider literature. First published in German in 1979, the book is
now in its third edition, and has established itself as the supreme
authority on these fascinating creatures.
Containing five hundred new references, this book incorporates the
latest research while dispelling many oft-heard myths and
misconceptions that surround spiders. Of special interest are
chapters on the structure and function of spider webs and silk, as
well as those on spider venom. A new subchapter on tarantulas will
appeal especially to tarantula keepers and breeders.
The highly accessible text is supplemented by exceptional,
high-quality photographs, many of them originals, and detailed
diagrams. It will be of interest to arachnologists, entomologists,
and zoologists, as well as to academics, students of biology, and
the general reader curious about spiders.
