Summary:
In many ways, insects are just like us. Elaborate mating rituals, a variety of parenting styles, and a plethora of careers from architects and engineers to farmers and ranchers. Like us, they're able to share complex information essential for survival, significantly impact their environment, and recycle. But insects outdo us in so many respects. The truth is, our planet belongs to insects. In 24 captivating lectures beautifully illustrated with graphics, photos, and video footage, Professor
Scott
Solomon
shares his passion for these extraordinary creatures. Why Insects Matter: Earth's Most Essential Species will open your eyes to evolutionary accomplishments you had never even imagined.
