Description
Translated in more than 22 countries under the supervision of Mr. Munetoshi Maruyama, author of "Insects are Amazing"! A nature* nonfiction book from Norway filled with the joy of "knowing". We humans are surrounded by insects -- a female entomologist talks about strange, beautiful, and quirky insects. Mealworms eat plastic, honeybees contribute to food and household items, nikubae heal wounds, ants farm and herd, scorpion beetles are nurturing children, and water beetles make music underwater. ...... Many people are not fond of insects, but there is not a single person on earth who is not cared for by them. Insects that are silently going about their business without your knowledge--they're just doing their job. (Of course, there are also the ones that have a little trick up their sleeve and are lukewarm all the time.) This is a nature* nonfiction book filled with the joy of "knowing" that takes you into the dazzling world of these insects. [This book is an important step toward understanding biodiversity.] -- From the Supervisor's Afterword [The first half of this book is about insects themselves. The first chapter introduces the body systems of insects, how they perceive their surroundings, and their diversity as a species. It will also touch on how to classify familiar insects. Chapter 2 will focus on the somewhat unusual sex lives of insects. Chapter 3 is about the complex interactions of insects with each other and with other creatures, and Chapter 4 is about the relationship between insects and plants. (The second half of the book focuses on the relationship between humans and insects. How do insects contribute to human food production (Chapter 5)? How do insects keep the global environment, including cities, clean (Chapter 6)? How do insects provide the necessities of human life, from honey to antibiotics (Chapter 7)? Chapter 8 presents the latest research on the key to insects. The final chapter, Chapter 9, discusses the crises facing insects and what humans can do to protect their livelihoods. Pollination of plants, decomposition of organic matter, and regeneration of the soil. Humans depend on insects for much of this. Insects provide other creatures with food, control the number of organisms harmful to humans, disperse seeds, and even provide wisdom to solve various problems. Insects occupy a central place in the natural world and are the reason the earth keeps turning."] -- By Hajime CONTENTS Introduction Introduction: The Earth is an Insect Planet Chapter 1: Small Bodies, High Performance -- Body Mechanisms and Functions Chapter 2 Insects' "Marital Activities" -- Reproduction and Fertility Chapter 3 Eat and Be Eaten -- Insects and the Food Chain Chapter 4 Insects vs. Plants -- Co-evolution with Plants Chapter 5 Insects and Human Food -- From Honey to Entomophagy Chapter 6 Cleaners of the Natural World -- Decomposition of Carcasses and Feces Chapter 7 Insects supporting industry -- Insect use by humans Chapter 8.
