Commentary In Favor Of Books Vabzdžių planeta: kodėl žmonija be jų neišgyventų
Vabzdžių – nesuskaičiuojama galybė. Kiekvienam šiandien gyvenančiam žmogui tenka virš 200 milijonų šių mažų padarėlių. Jų esama visur: aukštai Himalajų kalnuose, rūgštingose Jeloustouno versmėse, kompiuteriuose ar net kitų gyvūnų ausyse ir nosyse. Ir nors šiltas vasaros vakaras prie ežero daug kam atrodytų kur kas malonesnis be kraujasiurbių uodų, turime susitaikyti su mintimi, kad Žemė – ne žmonių, o vabzdžių planeta ir be jų išgyventi beveik negalėtume.Vabzdžiai – mūsų ekosistemos pagrindas ir mes, žmonės, esame priklausomi nuo to, kaip jie atlieka savo darbą. Vabzdžiai ne tik apdulkina augalus, platina sėklas, valo puvėsius ir atliekas mūsų aplinkoje (kai kurie net skaido plastiką!) ar kovoja su kenksmingais organizmais, bet ir padeda ištikus katastrofoms bei įkvepia žmones tobulinti technologijas. Vabzdžiai valdo mūsų pasaulį, ir mūsų pareiga – suprasti, kaip tai vyksta ir ką galime padaryti, kad mūsų planeta nesunyktų, kad joje išliktų pusiausvyra.

A whirlwind tour of the insect world and the impact they have on the environment. The speed of which the author jumps from fact to fact meant that I never got invested in each insect or story. I wish it had gone a bit slower and into a bit more depth about each story and really fleshed them out.If you think insects aren't important and more of a nuisance, you should read this book because there's so much to learn. We simply can't live without them. This book is so interesting! I was both educated and entertained with this one. There are seriously some funny stories here. What originally attracted me to the book was this sentence in the blurb:Most of us know that we would not have honey without honeybees, but without the pinhead-sized chocolate midge, cocoa flowers would not pollinate.
Did you know that tiny ants, collectively, outweigh us humans? Did you know ants started agriculture more than 50 millions year before we did? That ants and other little creatures are helping us find new antibiotics? Maybe you did know that already. But I guarantee you, most of us have no clue how much is going on in our world, hidden in plain sight, or ignored, unheeded, unappreciated, by humans."My humble plan is to convince you that insects are fun, fabulous and incredibly important... ;-)"
I found this to be a surprisingly enjoyable book about many various insect species that inhabit our Earth. There were some insects mentioned that I already knew a great deal about, getting up close & personal with many of them thanks to running my own organic farm. However, even with my above average interactions & interests in insects than the average person, I still learned a great deal from this book. I told my husband about some of the bugs that I thought were downright ridiculous to
A lot of really fascinating info - like the fact that ants can teach other ants - but it took me such a long time to finish this book! The chapters are full of short sections that illustrate a point that serves the main thesis of the chapter but there isn't a whole lot of inter-connective text. This makes it easy to read a section and then put the book down and I can see this being a benefit in a say a classroom setting but for me it just felt like reading a bunch of small articles from
