the sheer numbers are staggering. scientists estimate that there are ten quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive on the earth at any given moment, with more than 900,000 different known types of insects that account for some 80 percent of the world's total species. yet despite the ubiquity of insects, our knowledge about their true character and extent is riddled with gaps. many experts believe that for every one insect species that has been described and cataloged by entomologists, as many as
thirty others remain unidentified and unstudied.
this means that cabinet magazine has a lot of ground to cover.
cabinet 25 includes interviews with eugene thacker on insect swarming, deborah gordon on colony organization and j.b.s. haldane on why insects are thankfully small, along with george pendle on virgil's elaborate funeral for his pet house fly.
paperback, 7.75"w x 9.75"h - 112 pages - illustrated throughout
