"Written with considerable verve and a sly sense of humor, Berenbaum's book appeals to a wide range of audiences -- but it's authoritative enough to be used in introductory entomology courses. The main slant is how insects have affected humans, and there are a number of unexpectedly fascinating ways that insects have had a major affect on civilization.

Packed full of trivia, this is a book no bug lover (or even the bug adverse) will want to miss."
