Описание: Ever since the first human settlements 10,000 years ago, weeds have dogged our footsteps. They are there as the punishment of `thorns and thistles` in "Genesis" and, two millennia later, as a symbol of "Flanders Field". The author examines how we have tried to define them, explain their persistence, and draw moral lessons from them.

Описание: `Bugs Britannica`, a companion volume to the bestselling classics `Flora Britannica` and `Birds Britannica`, is structured along a roughly evolving path, from simple cell life-forms - amoeba, worms, crustaceans - to bugs we all might recognise - spiders, butterflies, bees - and back into the water to meet molluscs and `almost-fish`. The book works so triumphantly because Peter Marren and Richard Mabey have examined bugs in the dusty corners of our houses and gardens as well as traversing mountains, lakes and fields. In addition to the fascinating habits of the bug world they have also included the eccentric behaviour of the bug obsessives themselves.
