Bugs Britannica

Publisher : Chatto & Windus
Illustrations : col illus

Description:

Bugs Britannica is a nationwide chronicle of bug life in the 21st century. It looks at why bugs matter to us and why we care about them. It records our continuing love-hate relationship with small life and how it influences our life and times, in a word, our culture. We want to find out what meaning we attach to bugs, what uses and entertainments we have made of them, how they inspire us whether in poetry, prose, film or song, and what we do to attract and conserve them
