After you're through, you'll know more about the six-legged kingdom and its occupants than any bookworm that you run across. How does insect suturing work? Which insect did the ancient Egyptians worship as a god? What did Ogden Nash have to say about termites? Which insect produces Turkey Red dye? What bug has survived for 300 million years? How does a horse fly manage to fly without its head? Each tale is easily accessible, provides fun and scientific facts, and is self-contained. Juveniles and adults alike will be fascinated with the world of Turpin's bugs. The nicely illustrated collection won't give you ants in your pants, but just might put a flea in your ear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Turpin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557534179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557534170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.28h x 6.02w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2006 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"Tom Turpin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140763472127,"sku":"9781557534170","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39cbe721-8b97-4aeb-b779-28b3f0825bb4.jpg?v=1726596958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flies-in-the-face-of-tom-turpin-9781557534170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
