Listers,

         My apologies for cross-posting.

         It appears as though this fall my college is going to try to 
ressurect the Entomology course that used to be taught several years ago . 
. . and my department chair has asked me to teach it.  This actually makes 
me *very* happy!  This will be a course which will be open to both science 
majors and non-science majors, so I'm not planning on making it an 
extremely rigorous course, but it won't be particularly easy, either.

         What I need help with from you is in suggesting a good basic 
entomology text.  I haven't seen any entomology texts for over a decade, so 
the most recent edition I have of *any* ent. text is incredibly out of 
date.  Again, I need a basic text -- *not* tremendous detail.  I *do* 
intend on teaching basic functional anatomy and physiology of several 
systems, and then asking them to generate a basic numerous orders insect 
collection.  Yeah, I want them to have some hands-on taxonomic experience.

         Let me know what you suggest.  It would be particularly helpful if 
you could include ISBN numbers with your suggestions.

         THANKS!!

         James
