NATURE UNDERFOOT Living with Beetles, Crabgrass, Fruit Flies, and Other Tiny Life Around Us

How often have you considered the worth of dandelions and silverfish? After listening to this charming audiobook, you'll be sure to give these small critters more attention. Narrator Charles Constant lends his cheerful, easygoing voice to this delightful audiobook about insects and plants usually considered pests. Constant's narration is full of so much delight, wonder, and curiosity that it's impossible not to become a bit of a bug nerd as he describes the many achievements, idiosyncrasies, and evolutionary successes of bumblebees, dung beetles, and more. The audiobook, written by an entomologist who spent his career developing pesticides, also delves into the ethics of how we treat animals, using philosophy and religion as jumping-off points for a lively discussion about how humans and nature can live in harmony.
