“New's Insect Conservation: Past, Present and Prospects, gives the reader … a sweeping vision of the history, present-day research, and future directions of insect conservation. … the authors explore the pitfalls and challenges of insect conservation and  present  new directions for the discipline to take. … It succeeds wonderfully in providing an in-depth coverage of the field of insect conservation, and it is certain to be the leading text for college students and conservation researchers for years to come.” (Scott R. Shaw, Conservation Biology, Vol. 29 (5), 2015)

This multi-authored book, with contributions from many of the leading and most influential workers in insect conservation, traces the development of the discipline and its acceptance as an important component of biodiversity conservation.  Practical and political problems of the genesis of insect conservation are traced, and current and future scenarios and priorities for progress are discussed.  The book is thereby both an encapsulated history of insect conservation and a template for the future, of interest to science historians, entomologists, and conservation biologists, policy-makers and practitioners in many parts of the world.
