Poisonous Dwellers of the Desert
Natt Noyes Dodge
Shake out your boots before you reach in. Dodge introduces the desert's stinging and biting residents: the giant centipede Scolopendra heros, the scorpions and where they hide, and the black widow spider, with clear advice on treating a sting. A compact, level-headed field guide to the Southwest's small dangers. Know your neighbors before you camp among them.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
