Description
A richly illustrated celebration of the mysterious world of worms in science and culture.
This book celebrates the mysterious world of worms from gardens to toothaches and beyond. Worm by Kevin Butt introduces all manner of worms, including many that bear only superficial resemblance to our limbless, sinuous friends in the dirt.
To trace the intimate history between worms and people, he discusses worms that live in bodies, soil, and water as well as worms from literature and mythology. Throughout the ages, worms have been portrayed as benign, even beautiful, yet at other times spitefully ostracised as deadly creatures.
This richly illustrated book looks at the microscopic and the very large indeed, asking what the future holds for both human- and worm-kind.
