Recensioner i media

"Wonderfully entertaining... Engages the reader as much with the eloquence of its argument as with the charm of its humour" -- Mark Cocker Mail on Sunday "Goulson writes with infectious enthusiasm... A lively and important read." -- Ian Critchley Sunday Times "Had me exclaiming with delight... Goulson's book is juicy and delicious, layered with flavours and steeped in culture" Daily Telegraph "Buy this book, give it as a present. It is required reading for being a human in the 21st century." -- Matthew Cobb, professor of zoology at the Univerity of Manchester New Scientist "A gripping account of the importance of insects to our environment... Goulson has an easy-going style and an enthusiastic yet rigourous approach to material that could seem dry ... Goulson's patient attempts to establish a link between [bees' colony collapse disorder and a new class of insecticide] become as gripping as any forensic thriller." -- Suzi Feay Financial Times
