"Entomologist Berenbaum provides a strong survey of insect life and evolution, providing plenty of scientific facts in a
strong prose style which examines the importance of insects in human affairs." [Midwest Book Review]
"Insects and other arthropods found at a death scene can provide corroborating evidence regarding both the time and place of death as well as possible antimortem and postmortem treatment of the victim. Nevertheless, most forensic investigators are not specially trained in entomology, and until now, no entomology reference has fully explored these subjects. Forensic Entomology usurps this void, instructing even individuals without a background in entomology on what to search for when recovering entomological evidence at a crime scene."
