Abstract
After 30 years a new edition, the 3rd, of the famous Manual of Acarology has finally appeared. Acarologists from all over the world have for years been looking forward to this central book on acarology in an actualised form. In contrast to the two first editions, which were the result of the admirable work of G. W. Krantz alone, the 3rd edition is authored by 10 scientists, all well-known or even leading researchers in acarology (V. Behan-Pelletier, D. R. Cook, M. S. Harvey, J. E. Keirans, G. W. Krantz, E. E. Lindquist, R. A. Norton, B. M. OConnor, I. M. Smith, D. E. Walter) with G. W. Krantz and D. E. Walter acting as editors.
