BrillSivumäärä: 280 sivuaAsu: Kovakantinen kirjaJulkaisuvuosi: 2024, 19.12.2024 (lisätietoa)Kieli: Englanti While providing a basis for all ecosystems, bugs, insects, and arachnids also destroy crops and kill humans and other animals by the millions. This book illuminates the many ways in which human lives affect and are affected by bugs as part of a wider network of species. 14 chapters reveal how knowledge, ideas, and emotions related to bugs are historically and culturally formed. With many bug populations in free fall, how can humans and bugs coexist? This book answers this question by offering a new ethics for this coexistence.
