Wicked Bugs: The Louse That Conquered Napoleon's Army & Other Diabolical Insects BY AMY STEWART In this darkly comical look at the sinister side of our relationship with the natura l world, Stewart has tracked down over one hundred of our worst entomological foes—creatures that infest, infect, and generally wreak havoc on human affairs. From the world’s most painful hornet, to the flies that transmit deadly diseases, to millipedes that stop traffic, to the “bookworms” that devour libraries, to the Japanese beetles munching on your roses, Wicked Bugs delves into the extraordinary powers of six- and eight-legged creatures.Hardcover, 288 pages Show more
