African Insect Life

Rating:
Summary: The best book on African entymology I know.
Review: I have an edition of "African Insect Life" from the year 1979, with photographs by Anthony Bannister. When I was young, this book gave me immeasurably much information about African nature. At that time, my family was living in Tanzania - my parents were missionaries. It was an invaluable book; I don't know where else I would have learned so much about African insects. The photos by Anthony Bannister are superb, it's amazing that he got such good pictures with older camera equipment. I have seen an older edition of this book without Anthony's photos, and I must say that the photos add much to this book. I am not aware of newer editions - please forgive me if there are editions available with newer photos! Anyways, this book has been a wonderful influence in my life.
