Try as we might to replicate their raw material, our artificial substitutes have proven subpar at best, and at worst toxic, ensuring our interdependence with the insect world for the foreseeable future. Melillo shows how we have relied on these creatures for, among other things, the key discoveries of modern medical science and the future of the world's food supply. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 595.7163 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList
