Unlike other texts, The Insects does not dwell on classification, but takes an in-depth look at insect form and function and provides all biologists with a basic understanding of how insects work. This is a completely rewritten and long-awaited update of a well established text and respected reference work for students and researchers in zoology, entomology and physiology. Improved illustrations have been augmented with electron micrographs, and expanded reference sections will make it a valuable addition to all biologist's bookshelves.

Building on the strengths of Chapman's original text, this 5th edition has been updated by a team of eminent insect physiologists. The chapters focus on functional systems rather than taxonomic groups, providing a comprehensive understanding of how insects work. It remains an essential text for students, researchers and applied entomologists.
R. F. Chapman (1930-2003) was an eminent insect physiologist and Professor in the Division of Neurobiology at the University of Arizona. His first four editions of The Insects have formed the standard text in the field for more than forty years.
