_Urban Landscape Entomology_ provides readers with the background
needed to adequately understand and manage many of the complexities of
urban landscape pest management. For those who need training in
landscape entomology, this work serves as a practical guidebook and
resource. Its chapters include quality color images of pests, along
with pest management tactics, such as tree injection procedures. This
topical arrangement facilitates easy extraction of information
relevant to a particular situation (e.g., management of borers) and
uses practical terms without oversimplifying the subject matter.
This work is an invaluable resource for practitioners of landscape
entomology, including technicians and operations that service local
landscape management needs, such as horticultural and turfgrass
management. In addition, it is also a useful reference for advanced
courses in landscape entomology.
