ldv's review against another edition

Go to review page

3.0

Seemingly thorough book on carnivorous plants, nicely divided into general topics and then by family. However, it's a little too detailed in its discussion at time because if you're trying to get an overview, you'll get bogged down by all the differences between species that seem to have undefinable boundaries. Lots of sources to reference all the differences, too. And repetitive; translation could use some finessing. Not for pleasure or perusal reading. Great pictures, though.
