by Oliver Milman, book 14 of 2022
I was a bug kid, as in I could often be found collecting and carrying around live bugs that I thought were interesting. I outgrew this as peers made it clear that the hobby was “gross”. Nonetheless, I still have a soft spot for the smaller creatures in our daily lives and this book provided an interesting take on how insects and climate change intersect. I found some parts a bit repetitive but overall I enjoyed learning about the most recent studies and potential implications, especially regarding food production and health. Regardless of your preconceived opinions on bugs, I think this book provides a lot to consider as far as how we as humans influence our shared world.
Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for this ALC.
Recommended for: anyone interested in the current state of the insect world or climate change.
