Sinopsis

Combining truly amazing photography with a rich and readable text, BUZZ takes you into the field and under the fridge to explore the world of the insect, up-close and personal. The perfect balance of "yuck" and "wow", Buzz takes us into the fascinating world of insects and how they interact with each other, with their habitat, and with us. On the model of Chronicle's book On the Surface of Things, Buzz combines a highly-accessible text with eye-popping electron microscope photographs of bugs, putting the sometimes quite ugly faces to the names, and exploring the many ways insects shape and are shaped by our world. Includes chapters on food, medicine, control, crime, bugs as pets, and the bugs that live under your fridge(!) Rife with anecdotes and lore from history and literature, Buzz also casts an eye toward the interesting possibilities unfolding in current research as well as issues of sustainability.
