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.
