About the authors
The book is the result of a co-operation of over 50 European dragonfly experts who over the past decade brought together all records of dragonflies and damselflies, from the Azores to the Ural and from the North Cape to Lampedusa. This endeavor was coordinated by Jean-Pierre Boudot and Vincent Kalkman.
