About the Book

A Survey of Entomology Second Edition is a concise, highly readable introduction to the study of insects, including their structure, biology, behavior, evolution, and a review of the insect orders with special emphasis on the major insect families. This new edition features information about fossil insects and on using applied insect ecology to control insect pests. A detailed guide describes techniques of collection and preservation, and an easy-to-use key enables readers to identify the orders of insects without difficulty. Information is presented in clear, straightforward language, and a full glossary is provided to clarify entomological terms. This is an ideal book for students of all backgrounds who are taking an introductory entomology course, or for anyone wanting to learn more about the most successful creatures on Earth.

He had an extensive publication record, including The Water Beetles of Florida and papers on herpetology, malacology, ecology, general natural history, and medical entomology, as well as general entomology. His research focused on the taxonomy and ecology of water beetles and the distributional history of periodical cicadas. He received numerous grants and awards during his career, including a Guggenheim Fellowship to the British Museum (Natural History) in London, and he was elected an E.S.
