Bugs in the System: Insects and Their Impact on Human Affairs Paperback - 1996
by May Berenbaum
First line
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD and throughout history, people have had a penchant for naming things.
From the rear cover
The vast majority of people consider it a high priority to minimize the extent of their interaction with the insect world. Homes are sealed, sprayed, and kept meticulously clean so as to reduce the probability that they will be invaded by insects; similarly, bodies are bathed, hair is shampooed, and clothing regularly washed in order to eliminate any unwanted contact with six-legged life forms. In the overwhelmingly vast majority of daily conversations, insects are conspicuous in their absence; those rare conversations in which insects feature prominently are generally carried out in guarded tones, often with a touch of embarrassment.
