Reseña del libro "Metamorphosis: How Insects Are Changing Our World (en Inglés)"

An accessible, beautifully illustrated celebration of insects--and their extraordinary contributions to humankind--from the hosts of the BBC Radio's Metamorphosis Insects outnumber humans 200 million to one, and their impact on people and the planet boasts a similar magnitude. Metamorphosis: How Insects Are Changing Our World investigates how modern entomological wonders contribute to the prosperity of humankind. Featuring more than 80 color illustrations that highlight the impressive variety and vibrancy of everything from beetles to blowflies, the book covers contemporary topics that emphasize the intersections between insects, technology, and the future of the planet, including: the role of insect metamorphosis as a barometer to track future climate changehow invaluable the fruit fly has been to space travelhow the hawkmoth's tongue is inspiring bioengineers to develop medical nanoprobesthe way bee intelligence is shaping sophisticated flying robots for surveillance and rescuehow a network of fly farms are set to lower carbon emissions The study of insects has led to incredible strides in robotics, genetics, forensics, agriculture, medicine, aerospace, artificial intelligence, and biodiversity. Metamorphosis celebrates insect-driven progress and captures its sense of possibility with up-to-date research and scientific storytelling that connects readers to the bugs around them.
