Something that should probably be noted is that, while we do invest a lot into reference or research-based books, we do have a lot of large, full-color picture books for science related topics. Mammals, trees, birds, and as with this week’s, bugs. Your Monday Morning book is 500 Insects: A Visual Reference by Stephen A. Marshall.
I’m not one to jump at insects unless they jump first at me. And they do. Too much. But they’re pretty interesting. There is something so alien about them that is intriguing, a foreign quality that if even perceived as grotesque, has some odd beauty or appeal to it, making this book quite interesting.
Of course, if you don’t buy that, you can just consider this book a hit list and start getting to work.
