This book is great. I initially became interested in tardigrades after hearing that they had survived the vacuum of space.. This book gave me the specialist knowledge Google wasn't able to provide, and set me up to start some amateur research of my own. I recommend it for anyone that wants to know more about tardigrades!

This book is an excellent resource for those interested in tardigrades. It is well written for a technical manual and is currently the only book avaliable on tardigrades. The book has many diagrams, pictures and descriptions.
