Ticks in the genus Rhipicephalus include many important vectors of animal and human pathogens, but many species are notoriously difficult to identify, particularly as immature stages. This reference volume provides identification keys for adult ticks from the Afrotropical regions and elsewhere. For the nymphs and larvae, unique plates have been compiled in which line drawings of the capitula of similar species are grouped together to facilitate identification. Brief well-illustrated descriptions of the known stages of every species are given, plus information on their hosts, distribution, and disease relationships. Tables providing data on host/parasite relationships and disease transmission are also included, making this the definitive reference source on this group for all those interested in acarology, veterinary or medical parasitology and entomology for many years to come.
For the past 5 years scholar James E. Keirans has pored over everything the prolific mystery writer, John Dickson Carr, wrote and has created this huge reference book for devotees of the great author. In the form of an encyclopedia, the Companion addresses all aspects of the many novels and short stories, giving you insights into the worldview of Carr, as well as helping you navigate the plotlines of perhaps the greatest locked room specialist ever. If you are a serious JDC reader, or someone who has yet to enjoy Carr, this sturdy hardcover is a must for your library.
