Suborder Mantids
MANTODEA Gottesanbeterinnen der Welt By Reinhard Ehrmann Natur und Tier-Verlag, 2002
A catalog of over 2000 species of mantids from around the world with information including the scientific names, synonyms, the associated authors and dates, and characteristics of the genera. There are many pages containing color photographs, though not nearly enough to illustrate all the species. Definitely a handy reference book...if you can read German! Over 500 pages.

 The Praying Mantids By Frederick R. Prete, Lawrence E. Hurd, Patrick, H. Wells, Harrington Wells Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000
A book discussing much of the current research into mantids and containing a lot of information and data. It is not a field guide, though it contains several pages of color photographs of mantid species from around the world. A must read for mantid enthusiasts, but it may be a bit too technical for those only minorly interested.

Death becomes you, and it's just another fact of life explored in Cause of Death, a revealing abundance of startling data, false perceptions, bizarre fallacies and some totally unexpected statistics about how, why, when and where we all bite the dust.
Disease, accidents, occupational hazards, poisons, plagues, infections, murder, fauna and fungi, insect bites, war and even bison. All this and more in a book you really shouldn't be living without.
