Review

'... a high standard of comprehensiveness and accuracy ... will surely prove to be a really useful book.' Nature

'The book is superbly illustrated with line drawings, graphs, and occasional halftone photographs ... The text itself is written very clearly and one can recommend this to either undergraduate or graduate students without any hesitation whatsoever. The abundant literature citations and excellent index add to the value of the textual discussions, making this book an invaluable resource for any biologist working with insects and aspects of their chemical ecology and physiology.' Thomas C. Emmel, Journal of Chemical Ecology

'This book should be on the shelf of every entomologist and student of insects. It is a splendid and much needed revision that brings insect structure and function up to date in the most accessible fashion.' Quarterly Review of Biology
