By Douglass H. Morse
Harvard University Press, 2007

I highly recommend this thoughtful work to any individual interested in the natural history, life history parameters, foraging behavior, and fitness of any organism. In addition to containing a wealth of information on the biology of a wide-ranging prarie spider commonly found in the flowerheads of milkweed, goldenrod, and prarie rose, this reasonably priced work may be regarded as a manual of research design and methods useful in undertaking nature studies anywhere. It will make a valuable addition to your library.
