==Writing==
Hoyt wrote the first book on whale watching, ''The Whale Watcher’s Handbook'' (Doubleday, Penguin, 1984), which zoologist—BBC-TV presenter Mark Carwardine named his number one wildlife-book classic.〔Carwardine, M. 1995. ''Natural Classic'', BBC Wildlife, July, p79.〕 “When Hoyt wrote this book, he was well ahead of his time…few people had grasped the concept of whale-watching as a major, worldwide growth industry…It has been very influential over the years.”〔Carwardine, M. 1995. ''Natural Classic'', BBC Wildlife, July, p79.〕 Hoyt also wrote the whale watch resolution that put whale watching on the International Whaling Commission (IWC) agenda in the 1990s. That book, as well as his first book about his seven summers in the 1970s and 1980s with killer whales, or orcas, are considered classic whale texts.〔''Publishers Weekly'', June 26, 1981, review, p54〕〔10] ''Discover'', September 1981, p77-78.〕 ''Orca: The Whale Called Killer'' is still in print after more than 30 years.
Among his other books are five written for children and six academic books. Two popular volumes on social insects, ''The Earth Dwellers'', (Simon & Schuster, 1996) and ''Insect Lives'' (Harvard Univ. Press, 2002, with Smithsonian entomologist Ted Schultz) broke new ground. In Hoyt’s “delightful…multi-layered”〔Barnett, Adrian. 1998. Review of ''The Earth Dwellers''. ''New Scientist'', Dec. 19.〕 ''The Earth Dwellers'', the “ant’s eye view of life works spectacularly”〔Lehmann-Haupt, Christopher 1996. ''Books of the Times: Paragons of Terrestrial Success,'' ''The New York Times'', March 7, p B5〕 as Hoyt “fashions the ants into enchanting characters”〔https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/erich-hoyt/the-earth-dwellers/ ''Kirkus Reviews'', December 15, 1995〕 charting “an insect’s course through sex, aggression and foreign policy”.〔Lehmann-Haupt, Christopher 1996. “Books of the Times: Paragons of Terrestrial Success, ''The New York Times'', March 7, p B5〕 ''Insect Lives'', an American Library Association “Outstanding Book for the College Bound”〔http://www.librarything.com/bookaward/ALA%2520Outstanding%2520Books%2520for%2520the%2520College%2520Bound〕〔http://www.ala.org/yalsa/booklistsawards/booklists/outstandingbooks/scitech〕 is a “potpourri of fascinating excerpts written by some of the finest insect biologists and naturalists spanning many centuries.”〔Carlson, Albert D. 2003. Review of ''Insect Lives''. ''Quarterly Review of Biology'', June, p239.〕 A deep sea book called ''Creatures of the Deep'' (Firefly, 2001) won the American Society of Journalists & Authors, Inc. Outstanding Book Award, General Nonfiction.〔http://www.asja.org/for-writers/annual-writing-awards/recipients.php (“Past Awards” ) Retrieved 30 August 2012.〕 A second deep sea book, ''Weird Sea Creatures'', this time for children, has been published in 2013.
