The origin of entomology
Entomology is a book published by People's Publishing House in 2020 by Jean-Henri casimir Fabres, a French entomologist and writer.
Entomology is a long biological book about insect life, involving dung beetles, ants, locusts, cicadas and so on 100 kinds of insects. In this world, there are about 654.38+000 billion species of insects discovered by human beings, accounting for 5/6 of all known animal species. There are still millions of unknown insects to be discovered and recognized by human beings.
/kloc-In the mid-9th century, after teaching in a school, Fabres observed all kinds of insects in the field with his children, named them and sang praises to them.
Entomology is known as Homer's epic in the insect world. It is divided into ten volumes, and each volume is divided into 17~25 chapters. Each chapter describes the life of one or several insects in detail and in depth, and also includes some biographical articles about experiences and memories. The first volume was published in 1879.
The book was first published on 1907. In this book, Fables describes that small insects obey the laws of nature and make unremitting efforts for survival and reproduction. This book selects 28 wonderful chapters suitable for middle school students to read.
Based on his lifelong research experience and achievements, Fabres cared about insects with humanity and reflected social life with insects. Entomology focuses on the external morphology and life habits of insects observed and studied by Fabres, and truly records the instinct, habits, labor and death of insects.
In addition, this book not only records Fables' research achievements in detail, but also records Fables' obsession with insect research, his life ambition and living conditions. If we look at it from another angle, we might as well regard Insect as Fabres's autobiography, a very peculiar autobiography. Insects are only evidence of his research experience, and insects are also circumstantial materials of his biography.
