Reviews
If you are interested in beetles, then this is a must have. --Roberta Gibson, Wild about Ants
Honorable Mention for the 2015 National Outdoor Book Awards, Nature Guidebooks, NOBA Foundation ""If you are interested in beetles, then this is a must have.""--Roberta Gibson, Wild about Ants ""Few entomologists are also skilled at writing for a general audience, but Evans makes it seem effortless. He has a real gift for simplifying concepts so that they are not intimidating to an amateur naturalist yet not condescending to veteran entomologists. The introductory section is as well-illustrated as the remainder of the book, and explains many puzzling physical features of beetles... In short, this is the most compact, affordable, comprehensive, and useful beetle book to come along since I can't remember when.""--Bug Eric ""'Beetle-maniacs' will adore this beautifully illustrated, comprehensive volume written by the renowned entomologist Arthur Evans. Those who don't realize beetles are such a fascinating topic will be happily surprised.""--Catriona Tudor Erler, New York Journal of Books ""Anyone east of the Mississippi with more than a passing interest in insects will want a copy. Now.""--Bill Cannon, Scientist's Bookshelf ""Stunning.""--Dan Tallman's Bird Blog ""Beetles of Eastern North America is an excellent book that will be much loved by field naturalists and entomologists alike, especially given its very modest price.""--Robert F. Foster, Canadian Field-Naturalist ""This guide is detailed, easy to use and nicely illustrated. It will open your eyes to these interesting little creatures, many of which are stunningly colorful and beautiful.""--R. E. H., Wildlife Activist
