Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This reviewer repeatedly found himself stuck on a page marveling at the hours and hours of work that had gone into the research and photography behind the detail. Like a good exhibit designer, Grimaldi does not titillate or terrify with close-ups of the monsters that typically haunt other 'bug' books. Rather, he draws readers into a world populated by wonderful, colorful insects, creating an appreciation for entomology."---G.C. Stevens, Choice
"It's easy to run out of superlatives when talking about this book. For those of us who do not have advanced degrees in entomology yet are no less passionately interested in insects, this is the best guide of its kind - ever."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
"An amazing book."---John Miles, Birdwatch
"This beautiful 368-page hard-backed book lives up to its title – it covers all you could ever want to know about insects."---Frances McKim, Pest Magazine
"If you love insects and want more background information than an ID guide can offer, The Complete Insect is a book worth considering."---Claire Bow, Outdoor Photography
"This book [is] enlivened with myriad colour photographs that both startle and delight."---Andrew Robinson, Nature
"An absorbing and beautiful exploration of the natural history of insects." * the Buzz *
