THE INSECT EPIPHANY How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human Culture

Entomologist Barrett Klein describes the importance of insects to life on Earth, as well their influence on our culture and civilization. Narrator Sean Patrick Hopkins has a tone of curiosity and wonder as he takes the listener on a comprehensive tour of the insect world, covering topics such as insects' influence on developments in science and engineering, mind-altering experiences guided by insects, insect dance, and insects' influence on the arts, like music and fashion design. Hopkins is an apt teacher, fostering listeners' interest in the subject. The production includes jaunty insect-like music. A downloadable pdf with beautiful illustrations and photographs from the book further complements the narration. S.E.G.
