This clinical reference uses a minimum of technical jargon to describe a wide variety of arthropods and conditions related to their stings or bites. Introductory chapters discuss such topics as allergy to venoms and the signs and symptoms of arthropod-borne diseases. The main part of the text consists of alphabetically arranged, illustrated entries on arthropods. The entries are grouped into larger sections (e.g. flies, ants, spiders) for easy reference. Goddard, who teaches at the U. of Mississippi Medical Center, is a medical entomologist with the Mississippi State Department of Health.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
