Mosquito: A Natural History of Man's Most Persistent and Deadly Foe

Dr. Spielman is described as a world-renowned expert on mosquitoes. Better him than me, I say. If you can get into this kind of subject, the book is an interesting read, and you'll never again look at a skeeter in quite the same way. Read this weird book to learn about how mosquitoes are born, how they live, love (okay it's not exactly love), and die.

TO read the book is very good to let the commoment people know something about mosquito and the protection methods.

This book is a must for students of history and disease,natural history, and popular history. It is especially timely inlight of the spread of the West Nile virus and can help thereader to understand humanity's long struggle with diseaseand the agents that can carry it. Well-written and informative, it reads more like a novel and is the very bestkind of popular history. Buy it - you'll like it!

This is fun book about a subject that everybody hates. Nobody likes mosquitos, they are annoying little beasts and some of them may just kill you. The book starts with a summary of how mosquitos live and reproduce. The only complaint that I have is that I wish this section was a little longer. I would have liked it if the book went into a bit more detail about the diversity of mosquitos. I liked the way the book described the influences that mosquitos have had through history. The sections about yellow fever and malaria are informative. I really enjoyed this book. It does give you a good feel for how these little terrors are dealt with. The books is a fast read and it keeps your interest. If you travel or have an interest in mosquitos, this would be a good read.

I was fascinated,educated, mesmerized and horrified by this book. It was a wonderful read!
