An attractive mixture of background information on insects, their anatomy, history of use in food and other products, food culture, recipes and interviews, Van Huis' book is very carefully prepared and a pleasure to read. -- Job Ubbink, Food Concept & Physical Design The Mill , Switzerland The book is beautifully presented, well-written, and has a variety of authorities to support its case that we need to consider incorporating insects into our diets for ecological reasons. -- Theresia de Vroom, Loyola Marymount University
