Called 'a milestone in insect photography' and 'simply bigger,
prettier and more comprehensive than any previous publication on
insects', Professor Stephen Marshall's Insects is now in a new
edition, with more than 500 changes to reflect the latest
scientific findings since it was first published in 2007. It is a
comprehensive reference on insects featuring an easy identification
guide using 28 picture keys, 4000 colour photographs taken in the
field (not pinned specimens), expert advice on observing insects,
and more. 'Insects' enables readers and starting entomologists to
identify most insects quickly and accurately. More than 50 pages of
picture keys lead to appropriate chapters and specific photos, to
confirm identification. The keys are surprisingly comprehensive and
easy for non-specialists to use. Features include: * Detailed
chapters covering insect orders and insect families; * A brief
examination of common families of related terrestrial arthoropods;
* 4000+ colour photographs showing typical behaviors and key
characteristics; * 28 picture keys for quick and accurate insect
identification; * three indexes - common family names, photographs,
general index; * expert guidance on observing, collecting and
photographing insects; * new remarks on declining habitat and
threats to biodiversity. This book has been widely and thoroughly
praised. It is now ready for a new generation of new and lifetime
students of entomology.
