It's a very old book, that's not note worthy.
Review an old school or library book? Why? It's out of date by a massive amount. Do you know how many Beetles are discovered per month? Wrong 2.4 per day. That's just one tiny branch of the insect world. Book's will never keep up, and like Prime minister, should be changed often. Unfortunately no one checks to see if they are fit to be put into the public eye. The books good enough for what i want it for.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The basics of insects for all
This is a book that shows how insects are designed. How the form of different insects enables them to take advantage of their environment. There are hundreds of books on insect recognition, very few easy to understand books on what they actually are and how they work. Essential reading for anyone interested in the subject, aimed at the young, but great for any ageVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
