It explains the plant’s taxonomy, mechanisms behind trap closure, morphology, distribution, habitat and its vulnerability. CD-ROM provides information on the VFT culture, including full colour step by step propagation guides. Many colour images are presented throughout, including pictures of the different VFT forms (with their variable flowers), together with an image gallery. The text of the book is well written but some parts are presented twice (e.g. parts of early VFT descriptions). I would expect more images both in the text itself and especially on CD-ROM.

This is a fantastic photo book about Carnivorous plants by Germany's well known author Thomas Carow. Thomas Carow is known in Europe for his former books and a film he made together with the German Television about CP’s. He also owns a CP nursery in Germany. It is mainly a photo book - but a good one at that! I personally think, this is the best book I have come across with pictures about carnivorous plants - awesome, fantastic and superb pictures! Out of thousands of his photos, he obviously shows the best ones, some 220 pictures of superb quality of over 120 species, including some fantastic shots of landscapes as well. It is a collection of more than 20 years of CP plant photography, showing them both, in their natural habitat all over the world and in cultivation as well. The size of the book is 23,5 x 28,4 cm. You can see all kind of CP-species, from huge and beautiful Nepenthes from Asia or the Seychelles, to Heliamphoras in their natural habitat in Venezuela, Droseras or Utricularias from Australia, Pinguiculas from Mexico growing on trees or on rocks, striking Sarracenias from the USA and Roridula and Droseras from Africa. But also animals, living together with or in carnivorous plants, on pictures which have never been seen before like this.

Bhd., Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, 2002 ISBN 9838120618, stapled softcover, RM 20.00 Descr.: IV + 32 pp., 61 color photos, 2 color maps, 8 line drawings. From the publisher's advertisement: This new guide to the pitcher plants (Nepenthes) of Peninsular Malaysia discusses the 10 species and several natural hybrids that occur in the region. In comparison to the neighbouring islands of Borneo and Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia is not often considered to be a centre of diversity for pitcher plants, but as this book serves to illustrate, the species that occur there are as beautiful and spectacular as those from anywhere else. The book is divided into several parts, the first one introducing the reader to pitcher plants and Peninsular Malaysia in general. This is followed by a section that discusses each of the species, and several natural hybrids in greater detail. The final part provides information on several notable locations where pitcher plants can be found in Peninsular Malaysia. The text is drawn from the author’s previous works on Nepenthes from Sumatra and Borneo, while the illustrations include a number of images that have not been published previously. The book is illustrated throughout with beautiful colour photographs and the text is simple and easy to read, avoiding the use of scientific jargon wherever possible. It is of interest to nature lovers from Peninsular Malaysia, tourists, naturalists and, of course, any student of Nepenthes.

Featured are also newly discovered species, such as. N. glanduligera, N. hurrelliana, N. platychila and N. vogelii plus rediscovered N. campanulata, which in total gives 25 species of pitcher plants growing in Sarawak. As usual with Clarke's books, the photographs are excellent.

This is a book on where to find all of Victoria’s carnivorous plants, with maps and GPS references. As well as comments, range, cultural notes and seasons. Taken from the Preface: Victoria is a virtual treasure chest of carnivorous plants, but to find them is beyond even the most ardent visiting C.P. enthusiast, given the short time at their disposal. This book's goal is to tell you where, and most importantly when, to look for them. This book is updated constantly as new plants are found and new information comes to hand.

From the contents: after the introduction to carnivorous plants (covering their history in horticulture, why they are carnivorous etc.), the book is divided into three parts - Part I is on the basics of cultivation, covering soils, pottery, photoperiod, grow lights and things like that; Part II reviews where you can grow carnivorous plants, such as greenhouses, terrariums, windowsills, outdoors and so on; Part III reviews all genera of CP and their specific cultivation requirements rather extensively. An appendix covering resources, laws, tissue culture, etc. It seems to be a great book for any CPer. Some spelling mistakes, e.g. N. bicalcurata instead of N.bicalcarata, U. reinformis for U. reniformis.

Descr.: 30 drawings. This enjoyable book gave the carnivorous nature of plants scientific reputation. This was not a less revolutionary book than the one he became famous for, but, as Darwin said, the little plant with sticky leaves (D.rotundifolia) was much dearer than the whole development of species for him. So he dedicated a major part of this book to this sundew and described many still interesting experiments with which he proved carnivorous nature of plants. However, most of the other CP genera are discussed, too. Includes references and index. Fun reading, a historical value. Highly recommended especially to teachers and other people who want to give practical introductions in the field of CP and science. Juniper et al. in their books write that Darwin and Lloyd should be in a library of every CP botanically founded enthusiast. Contents CHAPTER I.

Nearly 350 species is presented on excellent full-color photographs, many of which were taken in the nature. The book is almost 100% photographs. Except for photo captions, a minimal textual description is given at the outset of each chapter. The book does not offer any horticultural information, it rather focuses on the presentation of as many CPs as possible in their natural habitat. This is definitely a must-have book in your CP book shelf.

All carnivorous plants introduced and cultivated in Japan (203 species) are shown in color photos including those of their habitats, close-ups of flowers and traps. The text (84 p.) contains information on cultivation of each genus. J.Schlauer (Nov. 1996): "Several species of CPs are featured here with colour photographs for the first time, and most (all?) pictures are originals which were not published previously. The value of the book therefore rivals that of "The Carnivorous Plants of the World in Colour" by M. & K. Kondo in many respects." Mistakes: p.4.

(Aldrovanda and its habitat) Hanyu-City Education Committee, Hanyu-City, Japan, 1982 ISBN ?, softcover Descr.: in Japanese, 354 pp., ?. "Mujinamo", as it is known in Japan, Aldrovanda vesiculosa was first discovered in Hanyu City in 1920. Named Japan Natural Monument in 1966, a designation given to rare and precious natural species, its natural habitat was placed under protection from development and destruction. Alas, in 1968, a heavy precipitation that hit the area caused the total annihilation of the plants from the natural habitat. In 1974, one-year environmental study was conducted, elucidating the possible causes of Aldrovanda extinction. In response to this report, Aldrovanda Conservation and Restoration Research Team was formed in 1976 comprising scholars from various academic disciplines. This report, "Aldrovanda and Its Habitat", is the final outcome of their comprehensive and painstaking research from the view point of biology, chemistry and geology conducted conducted during the years 1976-1982 in Hanyu City, Japan Melano, Olivier: "Attention plantes carnivores" (Beware, carnivorous plants) L'Ecole des Loisirs, France, 1996 ISBN 2211039383, ? cover, FRF 74.00 Descr.: juvenile literature (< 5 years), 32 pp., ?

Review CPN 21(3), 1992, p.79: "I found this book to be a fine addition to anyone's collection of CP books since it describes, explains and points out flaws in the information which we seek about these plants."

Nomen est omen: The follow up of Slack's first book takes reliably care of the cultural needs of the cultivated species and those which should be, all together treating about 200 species with short description and advice of an expert. His first book was great but with this one he wrote another most useful book which leaves almost no need for any other popular book. Includes references (2 p). The photo of U. neprophylla shows U.reniformis in fact (p.126). Review CPN 17(4), 1988, p.125-126 by Peter D'Amato: "...this book...renders pages of previous horticultural supplements found in other CP books obsolete. ...

An excellent book from a renowned CPer. Review CPN 36(4), 2007, p.114 by Jan Schlauer: "Yes, this one does (once again) have many illustrations but it is the text that makes it really noteworthy.

It shows numerous photographs of carnivorous plants in their natural habitats. These photographs were taken by renowned photographers. The catalogue features all - and even more - photographs presented at the exhibition heavily commented by Dr.Studnicka according to the authors' notes. I believe it can be truly considered as a standalone publication which can rival well-known pictorial Japanese publications. The book is fully bilingual, both in Czech and English As regards the technical things, the paper as well as the printing itself is of the excellent quality, though there are a few misspellings. The book has in total 135 color photographs of CPs and their habitats, 31 B&W photographs of the authors plus 2 other photographs. The alphabetical list of the authors: * S. Alton (UK) * B.
