Review:
“This book, with complete coverage of collecting and preserving techniques, is long overdue. - Dr. W. Wyatt Hoback, University of Nebraska at Kearney, U.S.A.
"At last there is a book that adequately covers the essentials of Arthropod collecting techniques. I will most certainly make this a required textbook when it becomes available. This book will save instructors time and materials." - Paul Choate, University of Florida, Gainesville, U.S.A.
