Overview"Insects affect the health and well-being of humans every day, everywhere, so the entomology departments that study them make a crucial contribution to many aspects of life, Indeed, agricultural success in the United States and other countries depends upon the work of entomology departments within the land grant system at universities across the nation. """"Entomology at the Land Grant University"""" is a thorough look at how entomology departments have adapted to shifting demographics, changes in land use patterns, environmental issues, and advances in the life sciences. With world-renowned contributors from both academia and industry, this volume is the culmination of a series of mini-symposia celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University. It addresses topics such as roles of entomology departments, the function of the extension service, the global reach of entomological research, genetic engineering, and future innovations in pest management and insecticide design. This insightful look into the workings of a university department within the context of a rapidly changing scientific, social, and economic climate will appeal to anyone associated with a land grant university, extension or regulatory agency, or related industry."

Table of ContentsReviewsMakes a major contribution to the literature . . . and probably should be read by every Entomology administrator in land grant university systems across the country. I would even go farther than that, and suggest that what is discussed for Entomology as a discipline actually applies to many other departments in Colleges of Agriculture across the country. Many non-entomologists in administrative roles in land grant universities and colleges across the US would benefit from reading this book. The book is built on the celebration of 100 years of Entomology at Texas A&M, and clearly this was and continues to be one of the top Departments of Entomology in the country. --Michael P.
