More Beetles
Jean-Henri Fabre and Alexander Teixeira de Mattos
The great French observer lies in the dirt for hours to watch a beetle at work, and makes it thrilling. Jean-Henri Fabre studies the shining cetonias, the burrowing Minotaurus with its curious horns, and the habits of scavengers most people never notice. Patient, funny, and full of wonder, his insect essays are unlike any other. Get down to eye level with the poet of the beetle world.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
