Book SynopsisTrade Review"[A] highly informative and beautifully illustrated book."
---Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today"[This book] filled me with wonder and awe."
---Margaret Roach, A Way to Garden"[An] amazing book. . . . The message is the inter-relatedness of the biodiversity around us, which is far closer and more complex than we could ever have guessed." * An Beachaire *
"Eaton's richly illustrated book will inform and entertain."
---Eric Brown, News Shopper"A beautifully illustrated, very readable and scientific compendium of the biology, ecology, behaviour and diversity of wasps and, in particular, their relationship with us."
---Malcolm Aldridge, Bulletin of the Amateur Entomological Society"
This book will make you love wasps and appreciate them as amazing, mostly solitary insects thriving in nearly every Earthly habitat. . . . [A] beautiful book.
" * Bees for Development *
"If you respect wasps only because of their sting and how they can sometimes prey on your bees, this book is likely to transform your respect to awe. . . . Written in entertaining, mostly double-page chunks, the book is ideal for dipping into."
---Stephen Fleming, Bee Craft"A richly illustrated introduction to the biology and ecology of wasps . . . . An attractive and enjoyable introduction to wasp biology, written by an author who clearly delights in the beauty of these wonderful insects."
---Andrew Wakeham-Dawson, Entomologist's Monthly Magazine"
[This book] has exquisite photographs and these are some of the best and highest quality I have ever seen surrounded by appropriate text. . . . This is simply a stunning book and provides a beautiful comprehensive visual journey into the complex world of wasps.
"
---Roy Stewart, British Naturalist’s Association"Crammed with stunning photographs (and I do mean stunning) and clever artwork throughout, this book is both informative and a joy to read."
---John Stewart, British Journal of Entomology and Natural History"
I would certainly recommend this book, I had a sneaking admiration for wasps already but this has further amplified that. I guarantee you will appreciate wasps more and learn a 100 things along the way.

---Andy Karran, Gwent Wildlife Trust"This splendid book is an enjoyable and credible attempt to change society’s distorted perception of wasps. . . . Browsing the excellent, high-quality color photos is a delight, and they constitute well-thought-out teasers to induce the reader to dip into the text." * Conservation Biology *
"It is good to know that someone is doing their utmost to dispel the biases and hysteria typically associated with these fascinating animals; highlighting the positive relationships they share with humans and the environment to a wider audience. Enjoy!"
---Jeanne Robertson, Glasgow Naturalist"All-in-all this is a fantastic book, and well worth reading. Eaton shows how amazingly diverse, and in their own way, remarkable wasps really are. I’m sure that anybody who reads the book will have a much-improved opinion of wasps by the end!"
---Amanda Williams, Buzz About Bees"A brilliant and attractive introduction to wasps and their biology. . . . A fine piece of knowledge that no library should be without, especially at such a friendly price for the hardcopy."
---M. Rindoš, European Journal of Entomology
