A wonderful book, and one remains amazed at the perfection of this edition, full color, and the precision and detail of the figures. A masterpiece that will dominate the phylogeny for many, many years. * Pierre Jolivet, L'Entomologiste (from the original French)* I am so thrilled that we finally getting a third edition of Invertebrates! I've been teaching invertebrate zoology for over fifteen years and this text is superior to any other on the market! * Tamara J. Cook, Sam Houston State University *
