3.0 out of 5 stars
Great coverage, but written for specialists,
By Markus C. (Penticton, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Biomechanics of Insect Flight: Form, Function, Evolution (Paperback)
This book has something of a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. A reader who is comfortable reading research literature on insects will find an organized, thoroughly documented and well-balanced summary of current knowledge of insect flight. Unfortunately, Dudley is one of those scholars whose writing is saturated with technical jargon and complex sentences, even when simpler English could make the same point. So while the content is great, reading this work is the mental equivalent of hiking through knee-deep snow. Enthusiastic entomologists will find it worth reading: everyone else will find it hard to follow.
