61 pages including index. Deals with the consequences of ecological change, particularly those brought about by human activity. "It commonly happens that man, while pursuing his own ends, incidentally uproots, fragments or destroys communities of plants and animals. Subsequent changes include the re-constitution of parts and wholes of those communities from surviving organisms and immigrants. Some of the immigrants become pests, also some of the native organisms." Attempts to point out the intellectual status of the subject as a whole and indicate a few of the avenues along which progress can be made, and to comment upon certain methods of study. Good unmarked copy with brown age spotting to both endpapers and some waviness to pages. Some bumping to corners. Dust jacket has light to moderate age spotting. Book

327 pages. "More than 600 species of insects and mites that feed on trees and shrubs in the prairie provinces are discussed in terms of their distribution, hosts, and importance, life cycle and appearance and damage. There are approximately 1100 colour photographs; the life cycle and damage of major pest species are illustrated, and for less important species, primarily the larval stage is shown. Pests attacking coniferous hosts are separated from those attacking hardwoods, and each group is subdivided according to the kind of feeding damage and type of insect involved. Includes an extensive bibliography. A taxonomic index lists the order and family of each insect or mite. A diagnostic index lists the host species, feeding site of the pest, and species of insect or mite involved." - from Abstract. Light to moderate wear.
