Insectopolis. The History of Insects from the Big Bang to Our Days
In this impeccably illustrated and informative book, insects—from butterflies to dung beetles—become the main characters in astonishing stories about nature, science, and human imagination.
Artist and multiple award-winner Peter Cooper... connects scientific discoveries with cultural history, narrating tales of prehistoric giant dragonflies, star-navigation beetles, mosquitoes that changed the course of history, as well as notable entomologists to whom we owe this knowledge.
With concern watching how many species of insects today, in the era of the sixth extinction, are disappearing one after another, Cooper creates not just a popular science book but a powerful visual manifesto, reminding us how inextricably linked the fates of humans and insects are.
