Beat Wermelinger has been researching forest insects for 25 years. This book also showcases his impressive photography, taken from his archive of more than 14.000 insect pictures.
• In addition to conveying knowledge, the author also reveals the aesthetics and subtleties of this often unknown and seemingly strange group of animals. The book not only presents the importance of insects, but also intrigues and surprises the reader.
• The recently reported loss of insect biomass has increased awareness of the importance of insects and will stimulate public as well as professional and academic interest in this book. The book deals with many topical insect groups (like bark beetles) that increase its relevance in today's era of climatic shifts and insect outbreaks.
• This is the only book on the importance of forest insects published for a non-American market. It will be adoptable on undergraduate and graduate entomological courses (Insects and Ecology modules) as well as having both professional and public appeal.
• Illustrations: 3 Tables, black and white; 4 Line drawings, color; 572 Halftones, color; 576 Illustrations, color.

"I cannot wait to get my hands on this book! Aside from Wermelinger's very special conceptual approach, his excellent pictures are highly relevant for European forests (there are not many knowledgeable entomologists that also are keen photographers). 'Forest Insects in Europe' will become a new standard for a holistic approach to forest insects. Highly topical in today's era of climatic shifts and insect outbreaks, the book brings originality and incites rethinking of one's involvement in forest ecosystem, even for a forestry-educated professional and specialist like myself. As well as being of interest to hobbyists and nature lovers, the book should be included as reading on entomological courses, especially at the university level." – Boris Hrasovec, Ph.D., Full Professor, Faculty of Forestry, University of Zagreb, Croatia.

"This book will make a nice addition to the libraries of any forestry professionals or amateur environmentalists who would like a well-illustrated compendium of insect roles in forests and how these affect human use of forests. It provides a focused and comprehensive treatment and is illustrated with outstanding photographs." – Timothy D. Schowalter, Professor Emeritus, Entomology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA, USA.
