Produktbeschreibung

Who runs the world? It's bugs, actually! Get acquainted with the little creepy crawlies who make our world go 'round in this enthusiastic and informative love letter to the beauty of bugs. Did you know that for every human on Earth, there are 1.4 billion insects? While humans around the globe treat bugs like pests or threats, we would be lost without them! Bugs support the food chain, pollinate the plants we eat, and decompose the stuff we don't want--and have been key players in countless key and kooky episodes of human history. Whether you're a curious bug hater, a passionate bug lover, or somewhere in between, these pages invite you on a journey through the wide world of bugs, and their remarkable influence on humans throughout history. Full of fascinating facts and tons of research made readable, this surprisingly poignant book will show you why humans need bugs, how they have shaped our culture, and how we can help them survive.
