Extraordinary Insects: The Fabulous, Indispensable Creatures Who Run Our World

byAnne Sverdrup-Thygeson

They live everywhere—deep inside caves, 18,000 feet high in the Himalayas, inside computers, in Yellowstone’s hot springs, and in the ears and nostrils of much larger creatures. The research behind Extraordinary Insects draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the fabulous, indispensable creatures who run our world with debates in nature and science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Extraordinary Insects gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
