Thursday, June 19 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Peter Kuper with Insectopolis: A Natural History
June 19 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Bill Nye, the Science Guy, says, “If insects weren’t everywhere on Earth, you and I wouldn’t be here either.” Which inspired us to invite Peter Kuper, author of the newly published Insectopolis: A Natural History, to The NewSouth Bookstore for a talk on Thursday, June 19 at 5:30pm. In his wildly inventive and informative work, award-winning cartoonist Peter Kuper transports readers through the 400 million-year history of insects and the remarkable entomologists who have studied them. The result is eye-popping, a visually stunning book that will transport you to a better understanding of why insects in our ecosystem matter. Come be educated and inspired.
