The present edition may be regarded as a descendant, much changed and greatly enlarged, of the late Dr A. D. Imms' Outlines of Entomology, first published in 1942. This went through three further editions without much change, but after the death of the original author a fifth, revised edition by Professor o. W. Richards and myself appeared in 1959 and a sixth in 1978. The book now appears in a considerably extended version in which I have tried to provide a more balanced introduction to the whole field of modern entomology by dealing with several aspects of the subject not discussed at all in previous editions. Thus, in addition to innumerable lesser changes in the sections on insect structure, function, development, classification and phylogeny, I have completely recast the earlier chapter on some important modes of life in insects. This now includes a far wider range of biological topic;s well exemplified by the insects and should, I hope, appeal not only to, those already dedicated to entomology but also to others with more general biological interests. A completely new chapter on the biology of insect populations has also been added and may serve to indicate the debt which modern ecological theory owes to work on insect populations. It should hardly be necessary to apologize for introducing a certain amount of elementary mathematics into this account of a subject which is now among the most highly quantitative of biological disciplines.

This established, popular textbook provides a stimulating and comprehensive introduction to the insects, the animals that represent over half of the planet's biological diversity. In this new fourth edition, the authors introduce the key features of insect structure, function, behavior, ecology and classification, placed within the latest ideas on insect evolution. Much of the book is organised around major biological themes - living on the ground, in water, on plants, in colonies, and as predators, parasites/parasitoids and prey. A strong evolutionary theme is maintained throughout. The ever-growing economic importance of insects is emphasized in new boxes on insect pests, and in chapters on medical and veterinary entomology, and pest management. Updated 'taxoboxes' provide concise information on all aspects of each of the 27 major groupings (orders) of insects. Key Features: All chapters thoroughly updated with the latest results from international studies Accompanying website with downloadable illustrations and links to video clips All chapters to include new text boxes of topical issues and studies Major revision of systematic and taxonomy chapter Still beautifully illustrated with more new illustrations from the artist, Karina McInnes A companion resources site is available at www.wiley.com/go/gullan/insects.

In his preface to early editions of this book, the late Dr. A. D. Imms said that he intended it to be an elementary account of entomology as a branch of general biology. He had especiaHy in mind the needs of university students of zoology and agriculture, as weH as those intending later to specialize in entomology, and he suggested that the book might also interest teachers of advanced biology in schools. These general aims and the balance between the different aspects of the subject have changed linIe in this and in our previous revision. We have, however, tried to bring the present edition up to date on the lines of our revised tenth edition of Imms' General Textbook 0/ Entomology, published in 1977. The text has been entirely re-set and eleven illustrations have been replaced by new figures. The same orders of insects are recognized as in the last edition, but the sequence in which the Endopterygote groups appear has been changed to reflect more accurately their probable evolutionary relationships. Many small changes and some addi tions have been made in the physiological sections, the chapter on the origin and phylogeny of insects has been rewritten, and a new bibliography provides a selection of modern references for the in tending specialist. It has been our object to make these alterations without materially increasing the length of the book or its level of difficulty.

Excerpt from Outlines of Entomology In preparing the following pages, as an introduction to the science of Entomology, the primary object has been to supply a need of the farmer and horticulturist. For while the ravages of noxious insects have an indirect effect upon the prosperity and convenience of every one, it is to the agriculturist more directly that their absence or prevalence brings financial success or failure. It is true that there are already almost innumerable publications, many of them of great value, on the subject of economic entomology, as well as those of more strictly scientific importance, all of which are accessible to any inquirer; but it is undeniable that a lack of some general knowledge of the life histories of insects, and an unfamiliarity with many of the terms used in description, deprive those for whom they are prepared of a large share of the benefit they might derive from them. I do not ignore the fact that this want has been realized by many of our most distinguished entomologists, and that several text-books have been prepared to meet it; but the objective to these is, that the authors have gone into the subject too thoroughly, have dwelt upon points of structure that the business man has neither time nor skill to trace out, have discussed phenomena that are chiefly interesting to the philosopher, and which make the study seem too abstruse. The following pages are an attempt at something more elementary, remembering that there are those who have yet to learn the difference between a beetle and a bug, or between a moth and a butterfly; to whom the transformations of insects offer a puzzle which they cannot solve, and who are completely daunted and discouraged by a half-dozen successive technical terms. This little introduction aims to help the beginner over some of the first difficulties he is liable to encumber in taking up the subject systematically, and the author hopes it will be the means of attracting him to the study of the more exact and comprehensive treatises of Dr. Packard, Prof. Comstock and others.
