| Summary |
Drawing together information previously found only in articles, reviews, symposia proceedings, commercial literature, and medical entomology texts, Insect Repellents: Principles, Methods, and Uses is a one-volume source on the development, evaluation, and use of repellents. It provides a thoughtful analysis of old and new information, from the ancient history of people's attempts to avoid bites, through the use of synthetic and botanical products, to pioneering techniques for development of repellent products.
