The Structure and Life-history of the Cockroach (Periplaneta orientalis)
Louis Compton Miall and Alfred Denny
The common cockroach, so easy to loathe, turns out to be a superb teacher of insect anatomy. Miall dissects Periplaneta from the outside in, then sets it in the great tradition of insect study running back through Swammerdam and Malpighi. A classic laboratory guide to a much-maligned bug. Meet the roach as the naturalists knew it.
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.
