Critics Review
I can’t stop browsing through The Wonder of Insects, a new book for nature lovers by zoologist Dr Ross Piper. This small but perfectly formed book is perfect for a nightstand. It isn’t an exhaustive textbook of entomology, but rather an insider’s tour guide through a branch of the animal kingdom that is at times intriguing, charming and sometimes dazzling. – Clare Wilson * i paper *
