Insectopedics

The book "insectopedics" of the American anthropologist Hugh Ruffles (born 1958) is an amazing study of relations connecting a person with beautiful ancient and incomprehensibly different insects.
The period of human existence is correlated with the stay of insects next to him. Tiny creatures surround us in everyday life: they eat our food, live in our homes and sleep with us in bed. And how much do we know about them? Almost nothing. The book about insects, composed of an alphabetical article of the Encyclopedia type (hence the name "insectopedics"), offers the reader a bewitching study of history, science, anthropology, economics, philosophy and popular culture.
"insectopedics" is a book that shows us how insects initiate our desires, excite passions and deceive our imagination, a study on the boundaries of the human world and the interaction of culture and nature
