Just a short notice to inform you that a new book about theraphosidae is available, in french and english.
It was written by a french specialist, M. François Teyssié, and seems to be very interesting. I'll publish a review in the books section as soon as possible (I've not received it already).
Enjoy:
TARANTULAS OF THE WORLD - THERAPHOSIDAE by François Teyssié, NAP Editions, 500 pages (!)
Here is the summary (taken from the publisher's web site):
"This book on tarantulas describes and illustrates almost 300 species of tarantulas of the Theraphosidae family by biogeographical zone. The descriptions enable non-specialists to identify each species, and provides additional information on lifestyle, habitat and distribution. Theraphosidae systematics are presented in the form of an identification key for subfamilies and a description of particularly note-worthy genera. An exhaustive list of currently known species is also presented by subfamily and by country. This book also covers Theraphosidae biology : anatomy, primary biological functions, ecology, venomology and pharmacological research. This book also contains advice on breeding and rearing Theraphosidae."
