The Waterbug Book: A Guide to Freshwater Macroinvertebrates, written by John Gooderham and Edward Tsyrlin, offers a clear, illustrated introduction to the tiny creatures that inhabit rivers, streams and lakes. This non‑fiction trade paperback blends science and nature writing for both young adults and adult readers.

Published by CSIRO Publishing in 2002, the guide covers identification, life cycles and ecological roles of freshwater macroinvertebrates, making it a valuable resource for students, hobbyists and environmental professionals. The 240‑page volume is organized by taxonomic groups and includes vivid colour plates to aid field recognition.

The book’s focus on ecology, conservation and invertebrate biology places it firmly in the Environment, Nature & Earth and Science genres. Its accessible style and practical illustrations help readers appreciate the importance of these often‑overlooked organisms in healthy waterways.

In good condition, this illustrated paperback is a handy reference for anyone interested in freshwater ecosystems, biodiversity and the science of aquatic life.
