(2) 4-6 Photographs by Christopher G. Knight. Lasky shadows arachnologist Greta Binford as she investigates Loxosceles spiders. The text attentively explains the research in absorbing detail, clearly showing how each piece of data provides evidence for the species' migration and evolution. This care extends to the numerous photographs and diagrams that portray Binford's meticulous research techniques, the spiders themselves, and the people who find them fascinating. Websites. Bib., glos., ind.
