Not always regarded with kindness, insects nevertheless hold an enormous fascination for man. And far from being the commonly held destructive pests, most insects are completely harmless and many are beneficial, if not essential, to human well-being. Southern African Insects and Their World gives an unbiased look at the insect realm in a way that enables the reader to appreciate and enjoy these remarkable creatures - which outnumber all other plant and animal groups on earth. The guide is divided into eight chapters which focus on insects' bodies, the behaviour of insects (finding food, mating and development) and on their many and varied strategies for survival (robustness, agility, camouflage, co-operation, patterning, stinging and biting).

Dragonflies are a beautiful, important and conspicuous component of freshwater, whether still or flowing. South Africa's dragonflies are particularly interesting as many are special or endemic to the area, making it a part of the world of great conservation significance. This book discusses this exciting dragonfly fauna. Dragonflies are a beautiful, important and conspicuous component of freshwater, whether still or flowing. They are also important indicators of freshwater quality and condition, which is significant for current and future conservation initiatives in South Africa. The country's dragonflies are particularly interesting as many are special or endemic to the area, making it a part of the world of great conservation significance. Sadly however, many of these endemic species are highly threatened, especially by invasive alien trees which shade out their habitat. This book is about this exciting dragonfly fauna. Besides aiming at increasing awareness of these lovely and sensitive insects, it enables their identification, using several approaches, from simple flick-through to the use of comprehensive identification keys. Each species is also given a Dragonfly Biotic Index, covering a spectrum from the most common, widespread and tolerant species through to the most threatened, rare and sensitive ones. Michael Samways is Professor and Chair of the Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, Stellenbosch University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa and a Fellow of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He has published 260 scientific papers and written several books on insect biology and conservation, the most recent of which is Insect Diversity Conservation, Cambridge University Press. He has won several awards, and in the last two years, these include the Stellenbosch University Rector's Award for Research Excellence, the John Herschel Medal from the Royal Society of South Africa, and the Senior Captain Scott Medal from the South African Academy for Science and Art. Michael is on several international editorial boards and involved with various international committees devoted to invertebrate conservation. Indeed, his research team is dedicated to the conservation of invertebrates and other biodiversity, which so enrich our planet.
