From entomologist Barrett Klein comes a buzz-worthy exploration of the many ways insects have affected human society, history, and culture Insects surround us. They fuel life on Ea rth 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. ✸ Cover, Bookplate, and Section illustrations by Mustard Beetle!✸ Non-fiction / Science / Life Sciences / Zoology / Entomology✸ Hardcover 368 pages, measures 7x9.25"✸ Publisher Timber Press ISBN-139781643261362✸ Ships plastic free Show more
