A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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, ar dwhich 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 au

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
