    The diversity of social behaviour among birds and primates is surpassed only by members of the Hymenopteran insects (bees, ants, and wasps). The paper-wasps are a large and varied group, and have been studied extensively by a wide range of biologists interested in the evolution of sociality. This book is unusual in combining synthetic reviews and new, unpublished data with original ideas.

    impeccably written * Glasgow Naturalist, vol.23, part 2, May 1997 * The editors have used the specific conditions of Proceedings to great advantage: they retained the interesting speculations that might not be accepted in a journal. The wealth of stimulating hypotheses will certainly provoke new directions of research not only in the study of polistine wasps, but social insects in general. * I. Hodek, Eur. J. Entomol. 95:8 1998 *
