The Insect Epiphany
How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human CultureFrom entomologist Barrett Klein comes a buzz-worthy exploration of the many ways insects have affected human society, history, and culture As heard on Science Friday. Insects surround us. They fuel life on Earth through their roles as pollinators, predators, and prey, but rarely do we consider the outsize influence they have had on our culture and civilization. Their anatomy and habits inform how we live, work, create art, and innovate. Featuring nearly 250 color imagesfrom ancient etchings to avant-garde art, from bug-based meals to haute coutureThe Insect Epiphany proves that our world would look very different without insects, not just because they are crucial to our ecosystems, but because they have shaped and inspired so many aspects of what makes us human.
