From reviews of the hardback:
The general account of flight occupies a third of the book, and will be widely useful ... but for the anatomy, mechanisms and evolution of insect flight it has no rivals.

The Evolution of Insect Flight has been well worth waiting for. It is a remarkable work, quite outstanding in its scope and breadth of vision ... what has surprised and delighted me is the magnificent functional treatment of the morphology of the flight system as a whole.
