[Review of hardcover edition: ] For the curious amber collector, Amber offers a practical guide to identifying these creatures to increase your knowledge and enjoyment.--Rock and Gem Magazine (07/01/2010)
[Review of hardcover edition: ] You might take this for a kid's book. That would be a mistake. Special are the children who care to know how to differentiate Baltic amber from Dominican amber, or who delight in having a copy of the only known photograph of the extinct alder fly species Corydasialidae. If you know a bug geek or amber nerd, find them this book. It's filled with page after page of stunning photographs of historic and prehistoric insects preserved forever in amber. (And indeed, kids should enjoy the photos of sand mites, lice, scorpions and other insects.). There is a simple key to these amber fossils that hinges on visual information rather than scientific terminology (Does the creature have very spiny hind legs? If yes, it could be a cicadelliclae or leafhopper; if no, go to the next step). Again, if you know a reader who is interested in whether the forewing of an amber-entrapped bug has a pterostigma or not, this is a must-have book for them.-- (07/24/2010)
