Book Reviews of An Introduction to the Aquatic Insects of North America

Book Review: Editors should have paid more attention to details
Summary: 3 Stars

Unfortunately, Merritt, Cummins and Berg did not pay close enough attention to the details of this 4th edition. There are numerous mistakes and revisions that are not correct. They lifted whole sections from the 3rd edition and put them into new pages without changing the page numbers the keys direct you to. The Coleoptera section has too many changes and uses outdated or incorrect terminology. The best part is the new color photos at the beginning, even though they were not used in the keys themselves. Unfortunately there are mistakes in the labeling of some of the photos. Maybe this edition was put out too soon. Hopefully a correction edition will come out soon.
