Trigger Issues - Mosquito
The mosquito's explosive effect on the modern world
Fever, the Panama Canal, poetry and Roman emperors... All are linked by the mosquito, the pesky night-time bomber that buzzes its way into everyone’s life. For some its bite brings deadly disease, for others it is a work of art. Certainly it is the ultimate survivor; all attempts to wipe it out have failed, and its 2,500 species have invaded not only bodies, but cultures too. As the Dalai Lama says 'If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.'
This book shows how mosquitoes have had an explosive effect on the modern world. Examined from every angle, it shows the connections between this everyday nuisance and major world issues, such as international aid, money and disease. Short, sharp and provocative, including unusual, hard-to-find facts and figures.
124 x 174 mm, 96 pages, paperback.
