This book covers a LOT of ground regarding insects. Some areas are very informative. In fact, most of it gives an excellent, basic understanding of the various topics, like insect sensory organs. My only concern is that it moves very fast. Some areas of importance are glanced over, and the only reason I can understand them (like systematics) is because I have previous knowledge in that area. This is NOT a beginner's book. I would put this at grad student level for sure. But if you have already taken multiple insect classes with more taylored books, this one would be superfluous. The only reason it helps me is because I have had two insects taxonomy classes, but I don't know much about insect physiology. So with that said, I can't really say who this book is best suited for, other than people in the same situation as I am.

The order can right on time, in exactly the condition advertised. This was just what I needed, and I'm very happy all around!

Great book , in great shape. Said minor damaged to cover, and it was just a little bend, So I was very happy about that. Received very quickly and in better shape than I expected!!! Awesome!! Another invaluable book in my collection!!

This is a great book for learning just about anything you could ever want to know about insects. It discusses insect sociality, body systems, reproduction, interaction with plants, evolution, environmental tolerance, pest control, and other topics. I learned so much from this book. It was amazing to me to learn just how intricate insects really are. This understanding really strengthened my faith in God and the creation.
