This revised edition of Nation’s ‘Insect Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition’ will be a great boon to those teaching insect biochemistry and physiology to advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well as to insect scientists in general. It is readable, up-to-date, and full of information. The new references since the last edition in 2014 are separated from the original ones at the end of each chapter so it is easy to find them. There are two new chapters dealing with the impact of climate change on insects and the new genomic approaches.
