Portland, OR.: Timber Press, 1994. Comprehensive text presents "a global view of the insect groups that are of major significance to human resources." Many other volumes on insects restrict coverage to a single country or region or to the tropics or temperate zones.

The objective of the book is "to look at the Class Insecta (and some Arachnida) systematically and to indicate which are pest species and which are beneficial." The major emphasis is on crop pests, but some veterinary, forestry, ornamental plant, and selected medical pests are included. 635 pgs. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar.. First Edition. Hard Cover.
