The Insects: An Outline of Entomology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(Four and a half stars)
Although this is a fairly technical college text I recommend it to everyonewith more than a passing interest in entomology.
The author goes into great detail into the subject and yet with a little work anyone should be able to make it through this text.
Do not be intimidated by the jargon as one will eventaullybecome familair with it.The illustrations are very helpful.

Aquatic and juvenile insects are not neglected here as they are so often in other texts.

So many children have a passing interest in entomology. Speaking from personal experience as a child for a long timeafter memorizing one of the Zim guides from cover to cover I thought I knew all that needed to be known about insects. A parent aware of one's child's intellectual development should know when it is time to give theirkids more advanced books. There are certainlybooksthat bridge the gap between the Zim guides ad this boo k (The Peterson Field Guide to Insects for example)and although I certainly do not recommend this book for a child the ambitious young adult should be able to get a lot out of this book.
