Do You Really Want To Know?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My background: Science teacher, grown-up, gardener. As a science teacher I did want more, even more, scientific information from this book, although it gives a good general overview. And as a gardener it would have been terrific to hear about some more deterrents for this creature, but (alas!) it seems there aren't any! The slim volume describes the high survival capacity of this tiny predator (no enemies/not a picky eater or biter) and gives quite a few accounts of people who were bitten. These are good warnings (some people who aren't bothered by first bites later become quite allergic and can go into shock from subsequent attacks) and it's also nice to hear that people are getting bitten and can laugh it off. Very readable, good basic science descriptions on how they travel and feed, not much on eradication, mostly anectodal tales of being bitten.
