A "New York Times "Notable Book
A stunningly original exploration of the ties that bind us to the
beautiful, ancient, astoundingly accomplished, largely unknown, and
unfathomably different species with whom we share the world.
For as long as humans have existed, insects have been our constant
companions. Yet we hardly know them, not even the ones we're
closest to: those that eat our food, share our beds, and live in
our homes. Organizing his book alphabetically, Hugh Raffles weaves
together brief vignettes, meditations, and extended essays, taking
the reader on a mesmerizing exploration of history and science,
anthropology and travel, economics, philosophy, and popular
culture. "Insectopedia "shows us how insects have triggered our
obsessions, stirred our passions, and beguiled our
imaginations.
