us Chordata don't. recently recommended:
T Eisner, For Love of Insects. 2003. Eisner is a chemical ecologist
who studies insects -- in the loose sense of the word, including other
CCT (creepy, crawly things) such as spiders and millipedes. So this is
a book about the roles of chemical signals in the lives of insects --
Generously illustrated, both with photos and drawings. If you are
fascinated by insects, you'll love this book. If you feel otherwise
about the little bugs, give Eisner a try; I wouldn't be surprised if
he converts you.
I'll try and find it. Recently read Le Couteur's Napoleon's
Buttons. "How 17 molecules changed history." Not about Napoleon
or even his troops buttons, except for one sentence or so.
Discusses chemical substances naturally occurring (salt, sugar,
silk) and man-made (aniline dyes, nylon) Really really really
simple chemistry so simple as to be entirely non-technical.
