Life on a Little-known Planet by Howard Ensign Evans is a captivating and witty celebration of the insect world — a realm so vast and so ancient that it makes human civilization seem like a fleeting afterthought. Evans, a Harvard entomologist of considerable distinction, presents the six-legged universe with infectious enthusiasm, guiding the reader through the astonishing diversity, ingenuity, and sheer biological brilliance of insects, from the architects of termite mounds to the chemical warfare specialists among the beetles.\n\nWritten with the rare gift of making rigorous science feel like an adventure, Evans masterfully blends natural history, evolutionary biology, and gentle humour into a work of enduring literary and scientific merit. His prose illuminates not just the insects themselves, but the profound interconnectedness of all life on this little-known world we inhabit. Complemented by the precise illustrations of Arnold Clayman, this landmark work challenges readers to reconsider what it truly means to share a planet — and leaves one wondering what other wonders remain unnoticed just beyond the edge of human attention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130988437723,"sku":"2026200012742-SECONDHAND","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2efe9458-f11e-4c7f-a566-3942a34587e3.png?v=1786593740","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012742-secondhand-life-on-a-little-known-planet","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
