A great book for anyone who likes nature and pets
Bugs and MORE bugs ! The chapters in the book, like the first, are divided by the characteristics of the bug. For example in the " bugs that live in water" section, you will learn how to keep bugs that live in water. Apart from teaching you how to keep the critters, the book also teaches you where to find and how to catch these slimy bugs. And if that isn't enough, there's also easy to understand facts about the bug's behaviour ! With over 20 new bugs, from ants to aquatic planarians to crayfish,this book will amuse and inform people of all ages. Fans of these two books "Pet Bugs: A Kid's Guide to Catching and Keeping Touchable Insects" and "More Pet Bugs : A Kid's Guide to Catching and Keeping Insects and Other Small Creatures" can only hope that Sally Kneidel would write a third book to accompany these two. ...

Editorial Review Product Description The Life of Insects opens with a trio of investors--two Russians and one American--discussing business prospects in the Crimea, when, suddenly, they reveal themselves to be mosquitoes in search of hemoglobin and glucose. Other figures morph from human to insect (and back again) in this thoroughly disorienting yet strangely familiar Kafkaesque novel. Both a parody of traditional Russian prose and a savage commentary of post-Soviet culture, The Life of Insects is a triumphant act of storytelling that succeeds in making "insect aspirations and anxiety feel so fragile and so soberingly universal" (The New York Times Book Review).

We didnt find this book helpful, fun or informative
My cousin loved it!
My Kid Loved It
Another Natural Wonder Pet Bugs is a unique book of it's kind as there isn't much books around on keeping insects, after all who wants to keep a slimy bug? But this book is different. It shatters the image of "slimy bugs" and introduces these creatures as ideal pets. Pet Bugs is a well organised and a highly detailed book. The book is divided into different chapters, and each chapter specialises in a specific kind of bug- for example butterflies. Each chapter talks about three or four bugs you can keep, with information on how to catch the bugs, where to find the bugs, how to house the creature and feed them. Information on each bug is also provided, which is easy to understand. This is an excellent book however, if photographs where included, it could have been better. Overall this book is for any pet lover or budding naturalist alike.

Editorial Review Product Description Baculovirus Expression Protocols is a detailed guide for using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) and/or insect cells to produce recombinant proteins. Procedures for the development and production of baculovirus insecticides at both laboratory and large scale are described in the kind of step-by-step format that the Methods in Molecular Biology™ series helped standardize. This book is a one-stop source for information on baculoviruses, and includes sections on using modified baculoviruses to express genes in mammalian cells, using Drosophila cell lines, isolating new cell lines, and developing serum-free medium. Specific applications, including using baculovirus and insect cell system to study apoptosis, are also discussed. This updated and expanded edition of Baculovirus Expression Protocols provides a perfect lab manual for biochemists, molecular biologists, biochemical engineers, and others for using the BEVS or insect cell lines to produce recombinant proteins. |

Editorial Review Product Description View a collection of videos on Professor Wilson entitled "On the Relation of Science and the Humanities" This book is a work of major importance for the development of environmental and behavioral biology; it covers the classification, evolution, anatomy, physiology, and behavior of the higher social insects--ants, social wasps and bees, and termites. Mr. Wilson reinterprets the knowledge of these insects through the concepts of modern biology, from biochemistry to evolutionary theory and population ecology. Customer Reviews (4)
