Entertaining With Insects (Or: The Original Guide To Insect Cookery)
by: Taylor, Ronald & Carter, Barbara
This cookbook is intended to be informative & fun. Recipies range
from breads to minestone and everywhere inbetween. Includes nearly 100
recpies. Briefly summarized, it shows that numerous insects are cleaner
than many of the animals man regularly eats, insects have been eaten throughout
man's history & are still eaten today, & insects are the most
relaible sourse of animal food for the individual lost in the wilderness.
In many of the recipies the insect is unrecognizable. In fact, in most
cases if a person hasn't been told that insects are a part of the dish,
they would be completely unaware. This is not to advocate "tricking"
your guests, it simply emphasizes that insects have little or nothing
to do with their taste. All the recipies center around the mealworm (a
beetle larva), the cricket, & the honey bee. Even though earthworms
are not scientifically classified as insects, they have been included.

From Where I Sit
by: Winston, Mark L.
Essays on bees, beekeeping, & science. In essays originally appearing
as columns in Bee Culture, the leading professional journal, Winston uses
beekeeping as a starting point to discuss broader issues, such as how
agriculture functions under increasingly complex social and environmental

how people struggle to maintain contact with the natural world. Winston’s
reflections on bees, beekeeping, and science cover a period of tumultuous
change in North America, a time when new parasites, reduced research funding,
and changing economic conditions have disrupted the livelihoods of bee
farmers. 171 pgs.
