More Minor Horrors

In this compact volume the author turns his scientific eye to the tiny enemies that have haunted humanity for centuries. From swarms of Arctic mosquitoes that tormented an Eskimo loading his umiak, to the relentless cockroaches scuttling through army barracks, each chapter blends field observation with a wry commentary on how these creatures have shaped daily life, especially during the hardships of war.

The book is richly illustrated with detailed plates of insects at every stage of development, alongside anecdotes drawn from medical journals and personal experience. Its tone is part scholarly report, part humorous memoir, offering listeners both factual insight into entomology and a glimpse of the unseen forces that have quietly influenced history. Ideal for anyone curious about the small creatures that shape our world.
