Uncovering the Incredible Power of Insects: Unbelievable. Amazing. Essential. The Tiny Creatures Who Keep Our Planet Running.

jfmdac: The only thing about this book that I didn't like was the authors' overuse of humour to get their points across. I don't mind a bit of a chuckle when reading serious stuff, but it almost got to the point of being over the top. That said, I learned a huge amount, insects not having been high on my naturalistic radar until now, but this has certainly changed my viewpoint considerably. I was impressed enough to buy another book by this team, Tapestries of Life, and am gradually getting through it. It's written in the same style, but is also full of useful information.

Lucy: This book is fantastic and taught me a great deal about our insect friends. It’s packed full of short sections on different insects, so would make a great book to read a little from each day (having said that, I read most of it in longer sittings which was great but occasionally a bit of information overload!). This book has fascinating stories of insects and the vital part they play in the natural world, but it also clearly demonstrates our connection to, and dependence on, insects and highlights the need for us to protect them before it’s too late.

Avid Reader: This is an excellent book. Good knowledge, witty writing, I thoroughly recommend this book. I listened to the audible version and that was incredibly well read, really brought the book to life.

Scott Br: With humor and clarity , the author explains the behind -the- scenes roles insects play in our everyday lives. I gained new insight into these seemingly worthless nuisances.

Z Dawit: This is a can’t-miss, humorous and madly interesting book on the world of insects. The power of nature has molded them into finely tuned machines that are the best at whatever they specialize in-pollination, carrion disposal,
plant decomposition-you name it there is an insect for that. It’s absolutely mind blowing. Highly recommended.

Rachel Gollub: I really didn’t like insects, but this book was a fun read, and got me interested in them. I’ll admit I’m looking at them differently now. The style was engaging, and the stories were amazing. I got the recommendation for this book from ARNE & CARLOS.

Luralynn Lombardi: I have always been fascinated by insects. this book was very interesting and was easy to read. It wasn’t full of super scientific terminology or explanations. While there was some, it was easy to read and understand. I enjoyed all of the very unique and fascinating things I learned about insects and especially how we need insects and should be more proactive in protective all of them.
