A fanciful collection featuring gorgeous detailed imagery of the world’s most fabulous insects Discover the Titan of the Amazon, the “antosaur,” fabulous butterflies with birdlike wings, and even more of the world’s most unbelievable insects in this collectible volume. Richly illustrated and written by eminent entomologists, this work unveils 50 insects (from among the million hopefuls) that illustrate the beauty and strangeness of this universe, their world so close and yet so mysterious. What is this beetle that symbolized the sun for the Egyptians? Who is the Maoris’ “god of ugly things”? How did Darwin predict the existence of a butterfly without ever having seen one? The diversity and sheer global number of insects influences the balance of terrestrial natural environments. They evoke both our fear and fascination. Some were worshipped, others inspire technical uses, and often, their appeal inspires artists or poets. That’s why this book also explores how insects have inspired artwork and scientific innovation throughout history.

Black Friend - Ziwe Fumudoh - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the writer crowned one of the smartest, funniest voices in modern America, this hotly anticipated debut collection of essays offers “a precious glimpse into how Ziwe’s uniquely fearless mind functions” ( New York Magazine ) Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend , she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories, which grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief. From Black Friend’s Introduction: “Today, I learned that my book is ranked as the #1 new release in ‘Discrimination and Racism’ on Amazon. Wow. This is a huge honor, especially considering my stiff competition in the selfpublished manifestos space. Unfortunately, this victory is bittersweet. I worry that people may get the wrong idea and think that I am pro-racism when in actuality, I am indifferent. Still, I’d love to thank everyone who made this possible. I solemnly swear to write the most discriminatory book in American history. I hope I can make you proud. “Just kidding . . . I will not marginalize you . . . unless that’s your kink. This book of essays offers moments of extreme discomfort (and the subsequent growth) in my life around the role of ‘black friend.’ Black friends come in all shapes and sizes. Yet the archetype is often a two-dimensional character meant to support the non-black protagonists’ more complex humanity. Some black friends exist as the comic relief, like Donkey in any of the Shrek movies. Some are the sassy friend, like Louise from St. Louis in Sex and the City . Still others are the inexplicably sagacious companion, like Morpheus in The Matrix . It’s impossible for these individual portraits to reflect my complicated reality. To start, they are fictional. One of them is a talking ass. I do not exist just to move plot. While I am a supportive friend, I am not a supporting character. I am the protagonist of my perfectly imperfect story.”
