Each guide covers the British species and provides an introduction to the natural history of the group, with colour illustrations and clear identification keys.

Animals Under Logs and Stones Naturalist's Handbook Series Logs and stones provide an interesting interface between damp soil and dry open air. The animals that live there cover a wide range of groups and have equally wide ranging ways of coping with the environment in which they have chosen to live. These animals have been termed 'cryptozoa' ('hidden' animals). This book does not cover animals found on the sea shore or in very wet places. The Naturalist's Handbook Series is an outstanding series of natural history guides to some less well-known invertebrates. Each guide covers the British species and provides an introduction to the natural history of the group, with colour illustrations and clear identification keys. An indispensable reference source for educational project workers and professional ecologists with the aim of providing the essential basis for field workers to carry out their own investigations. Relevant techniques are described and addresses of suppliers of equipment are provided.
