I can't say I've "read" this whole thing as it reads like a dictionary - but one of my most favorite guides I own - I live and die by this book alone. If you are interested in Taxonomy or species identification, this is a very interesting guide to understanding its roots and helpful in differentiating one species from another if you understand enough about its biology and behavior to make the connection with its rooted name.
