Customer reviews of Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America (Kaufman Field Guides)
|
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Love Bugs??
Comment: I actually bought this book to donate to one of our schools in our area. The children every year have to do an insect project. The books they have at school can't be taken home and have the classifications in them. So they borrow this book from our library on a regular basis. I bought one for their library so they would have an extra!

Summary: Kaufman's Guide to insects of North America
Comment: Good enough for just identifying most insects, but no real information on "what" they are.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: I am an entomologist and have 2 copies of this - one for home and one for work. Pictures are great! Every time I thumb through, it I learn something new. I think it is the best guide on the market right now! Biggest selling point to me: Some field guides have a picture of an insect that has several species that look similar but give the perception that all the insects that look similar to the one pictured is the one pictured when that is really not the case. So I love that they mention that there are a certain number of species in the genus that look similar so that you know that what you have may not be the one pictured, but a closely related species.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Totally Bugged Out
Comment: This book includes lots of good pictures and basic despcriptions of bugs-it has made it very easy to identify many bugs I have encountered. I would like more fun facts and details to be included, but overall, this is a great guide for adults and children alike to learn to identify bugs!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good intro field guide
Comment: The strengths of this book are the excellent photos (digitally touched up, that is), good, basic info, and a clear but informative, non-technical writing style. As with any field guide intended for the general reader, the picture method of identification has its pitfalls, but still, insects (at least to the family and genus level) are much easier to identify with a decent field guide than plants or especially fungi and mushrooms, due to their depauperate character suite. So overall, a nice guide to enhance one's knowledge and appreciation of the insect phylum. You can learn a lot from this guide, but I recommend that for every serious amateur naturalist you try to learn enough to some day attempt formal, professional taxonomic keys to the major groups of insects.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Many insects are difficult even for the experts to identify. In the
new Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America, readers
will find a wealth of information on the amazing observable behaviors of
insects and their fascinating life histories. Naturalists Kenn Kaufman
and Eric R. Eaton use a broad ecological approach rather than overly technical terms, making the book accessible and understandable for everyone. The lively and engaging text emphasizes the insects that are most
likely to catch our attention but includes information on all groups that
can be recognized. The guide is lavishly illustrated, with more than
2,350 digitally enhanced photographs representing every major group
of insects found in North America north of Mexico. Comprehensive yet
compact, authoritative yet easy to understand, this is the perfect guide
for anyone who wants to know more about the fascinating and diverse
insects of North America.
