Synopsis

An enormous amount of research in spider biology in recent years has resulted in significant new insights into this diverse group of organisms. The response to this outpouring is an updated edition of this widely regarded classic. First published in 1979, this was the first textbook on spiders since 1930; the new edition contains all the information gathered since that time, including the entire world literature on spiders up to 1994. The author has completely updated and revised chapters on ecology, phylogeny and systematics to reflect current knowledge. Over 200 illustrations are included as well as an extensive reference section. The only modern textbook available on the subject, this will prove an invaluable resource for professionals, students, and researchers in zoology, entomology, ecology and physiology.

August 29, 2007: So I guess if you don't know jack about spiders and only want to know the basics, then this book prolly isn't for you. But for those out there who know more than the average Joe and wish to expand there knowledge of spiders in general, this book is by far the raining champ on the subject. there is not a public library out there that I have come across that even has this book, or any other book that comes close to this one as far as all around detail. BE WARNED!!! this is a dry read, but for those of you who have searched for an outstanding spider book, this is the book for you.
