AFRICAN INSECT LIFE [1953]

'The insect life of Africa, south of the Sahara, is incredibly rich and varied. Little is known by the ordinary reader about the insects of the open country, of his garden or even inside his own house.

Dr. S. H. Skaife is uniquely qualified to introduce this complex world. His lifelong study of entomology in Africa gives him unparalleled authority to describe and to illustrate the principal species of the main families of insects and their curious life-histories; and his style ensures that the facts which he presents will be as easily understood - and enjoyed - by the general reader as by the scientist, to whom some of them will still be new.' - editor's note
