 </p>\n<p>Kuper also illuminates pioneering naturalists\, from well-known f
 igures like E. O. Wilson and Rachel Carson to unheralded luminaries like C
 harles Henry Turner\, the Black American scholar who documented arthropod 
 intelligence\, and Maria Sybilla Merian\, the seventeenth-century German r
 egarded as the mother of entomology.</p>\n<p>Galvanized by the sixth extin
 ction and the ongoing insect crisis\, Kuper takes readers on an unforgetta
 ble journey.</p>\n<p><br /><em><strong>Books will be available for purchas
