The present edition may be regarded as a descendant, much changed
and greatly enlarged, of the late Dr A. D. Imms' Outlines of
Entomology, first published in 1942. This went through three
further editions without much change, but after the death of the
original author a fifth, revised edition by Professor O. W.
Richards and myself appeared in 1959 and a sixth in 1978. The book
now appears in a considerably extended version in which I have
tried to provide a more balanced introduction to the whole field of
modern entomology by dealing with several aspects of the subject
not discussed at all in previous editions. Thus, in addition to
innumerable lesser changes in the sections on insect structure,
function, development, classification and phylogeny, I have
completely recast the earlier chapter on some important modes of
life in insects. This now includes a far wider range of biological
topics well exemplified by the insects and should, I hope, appeal
not only to those already dedicated to entomology but also to
others with more general biological interests. A completely new
chapter on the biology of insect populations has also been added
and may serve to indicate the debt which modern ecological theory
owes to work on insect populations. It should hardly be necessary
to apologize for introducing a certain amount of elementary
mathematics into this account of a subject which is now among the
most highly quantitative of biological disciplines.
