Dr. Tapan Sengupta has published a book on ‘Insects of India’ based on decades of experience both in abroad and in India. In fact the book on insects is a medium through which the reader can also explore the beauty and diversity of India. Insects have been treated not in isolation, but as they live in their natural surroundings, ranging from the Himalayan terrain of Darjeeling in the North to Cardamon hills of Tamil Nadu & Kerala in the South to Dafla hills of Arunachal Pradesh in the East to Girnar hills of Gujarat in the West. I’m enclosing a short write-up and hope you will find it worth keeping a copy for yourself or recommending a copy.

Thanks,
