This book is one of those rare delights, a coffee table book full of readily digestible information, far more than anyone could consume at a sitting. One of the reasons I find it delightful is that Hoskins is a natural and passionate story-teller; the photos are simply superb; time and again I turn a page and shake my head at the startling beauty or even sheer implausibility of the image. This is a book to delight the eyes and the mind and to encourage us to see the world through new lenses. * Sydney Morning Herald *

Butterflies of the World provides a nice introduction to the world of butterfly biology with a balanced mixture of text and spectacular photographs of living butterflies. —James A.
