Lift the wing-case and look inside. The final volume of Kirby and Spence turns to the internal anatomy and physiology of insects: how they breathe, move, and sense a world we barely register. A fitting close to the founding work of English entomology. Finish the series where the machinery of insect life is laid bare.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
