The book's real strength is that it is a marvelous compendium of information about the careers and issues of many little-known American men and women interested in entomological musings. Sorensen conveys a great deal of information and maintains the reader's interest in Brethren of the Net. Alan I. Marcus, Iowa State University

Sorensen is at his best in discussing scientific concepts--he has made himself a master of the relevant sciences, and it shows. His discussions of the nomenclature problem, the theory of evolution, the type concept, and the notion of the balance of nature are outstanding. He succeeds in illuminating an important period in entomological research that has not been much studied before and gives insights into the development of a scientific community. --George H.
