The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World

byOliver Milman

A devastating examination of how collapsing insect populations worldwide threaten everything from wild birds to the food on our plate. The argument in The Insect Crisis develops through scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the fall of the tiny empires that run the world to larger questions in nature and science, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, The Insect Crisis preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
