Essential Entomology : An Order-by-Order Introduction

A concise guide to the insect orders and to what makes insects special and successful. The book is in three sections: a straightforward introduction to insect biology; a section on field work; and an order-by-order catalogue of the insects giving essential facts and details of life-histories, points peculiar to that order, and so on. It includes a pictoral aid to identification of the orders, key references, and specially commissioned large clear illustrations.
