3.0 out of 5 stars
Well-presented and a logical sequence of material,
By A Customer
This review is from: Entomology (Paperback)
The book is published as a text for college undergraduates, and is certainly adequate for its intended purpose. If one does not have ANY background in entomology, the material is, at times, just a bit deep, but, even so, is easy to follow. A glossary would be a useful addition to the book, as the definition of some terms requires one to consult a (universal) dictionary or other textbook. The item most lacking is color plates for identification; all drawings are in black and white. However, the text is not intended to be an identification guide, but an in-depth discussion of the structure and function of insects and their appendages. For high-school students, the material could become overwhelming. For college students, the text should prove a satisfactory addition to a personal or institutional library.
