| Summary, etc | An ambitious and beautifully illustrated account of the evolution and biology of insects.<br/><br/>Insects are the busy, teeming arthropods on whose activities much of life on earth depends, and whose global populations are currently under the gravest of threats – with unimaginable consequences for us all.<br/><br/>In Alien Worlds, Steve Nicholls explores nothing less than a complete natural history of insects, bringing us on a journey through a world of a million species and their phenomenal and extraordinary diversity.<br/><br/>A fantastically authoritative and congenial guide, led by a fluent and entertaining writer with the ability to make complex ideas comprehensible, it is not only a feast for the curious mind but also contains beautiful and visually arresting imagery of the tiny beasts whom we depend on greatly.<br/><br/>https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/alien-worlds-9781838934767/ |
