The Insect Epiphany - Barrett Klein - Bog

Bag om The Insect Epiphany

From entomologist Barrett Klein comes a buzz-worthy exploration of the many ways insects have affected human society, history, and cultureAs heard on Science Friday. Insects surround us. They fuel life on Earth through their roles as pollinators, predators, and prey, but rarely do we consider the outsize influence they have had on our culture and civilization. Their anatomy and habits inform how we live, work, create art, and innovate. Featuring nearly 250 color images—from ancient etchings to avant-garde art, from bug-based meals to haute couture—The Insect Epiphany proves that our world would look very different without insects, not just because they are crucial to our ecosystems, but because they have shaped and inspired so many aspects of what makes us human.
