Essential Entomology,, Dec 18 2009
By J. Bishop "3985 Steam" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential Entomology: An Order-by-Order Introduction (Paperback)
This text is an excellent assembly of the fundamentals of entomology and a worthy contribution to the field. However, it is no Tripplehorn, the truly essential introductory entomology text. It lacks an identification key, but provides a wealthh of order-level introductory information. This book would serve as a good supplemental text. A nice addition to a personal entomology library.
