A great read!
I just recently finished this one (the cover looks very different, but the title, authors, and year of publication are the same, so I'm assuming it's the same book). A real page-turner, hard to put down, easy to finish! Not much help in identification, but full of scientific names and natural history information about various species, as well as a chronicle of human history as shaped by various species of skeeters and the pathogens they help transmit. I highly recommend it.
