Review
"Any biologist with a passing interest in insects, any student looking for a pen-and-ink drawing of a particular beetle, or any reference librarian checking out a common name for an insect will find a use for this volume. This new edition gathers together as much as anyone needs to gain entry into the vast entomological literature. This book is a tribute to Arnett's single-minded devotion, over the course of 80 years, to the study of insectsAccording to the author, there are 87,107 different types of insects in North America, all of which are accounted for in this book." -CHOICE, February 2001 "Fifteen years after the first edition, which was the first such handbook to be compiled in American entomology, the second edition of R.H. Arnett, Jr.'s massive tome has been revamped and improved with: captionsrestored for what now are the more than 1,500 photos and line drawings; cladistics used to determine relationships; bibliographic entries expanded and updated; and, many identification keys revised for uniformityevery order, family, and genus is numbered and indexed making the landmark work a convenient tool for identifying insects and determining taxonomic positionbroadly useful to areas other than the specified geographic region." -IPM Net
