Reviews
Ig Nobel Prize winner Marcus Byrne has a new book called Dance of the Dung Beetles. It can please and enlighten anyone--human or beetle or both (Beatle)--who ever has contact with with dance, dung, life, or the universe., "An entertaining and educational "tour" incorporating both Egyptian mythology and 17th-century scientific discovery... though geared for an audience already enthusiastic about entomology and its role in the history of natural science, casual readers will also find much of interest. A collection of diverse images adds value to the text, as does the detailed notes section, providing sources for each chapter.", This book will leave you with a deeper appreciation of nature and of our relationship to other living creatures. It will forever leave an image in your mind of a little beetle with a peaked cap glued onto its shiny, earless head unable to see the sun and thus meandering pointlessly with their dung balls., Dung beetles -- which fascinated Charles Darwin -- were once divine symbols. In ancient Egypt, Khepri (god of the rising Sun) had a scarab-beetle head because the insect 'danced' balls of dung across the Earth, just as the Sun moved across the sky. The beetle is thought later to have metamorphosed into zodiac sign Cancer, the crab. Now, thanks to experiments by entomologists such as Marcus Byrne, we know that dung beetles can navigate by the Milky Way. His collaboration with writer Helen Lunn, eye-catchingly illustrated, is a captivating compound of science, history and myth., Marcus Byrne and Helen Lunn recount the history of these much storied and increasingly studied Coleopterans in their new Dance of the Dung Beetles. Delving back some 3,000 years and following their subjects up to the present day, this new book seems to be just the thing for entomologists, general naturalists, and curious general readers alike., This book will leave you with a deeper appreciation of nature and of our relationship to other living creatures. It will forever leave an image in your mind of a little beetle with a peaked cap glued onto its shiny, earless head ... unable to see the sun and thus meandering pointlessly with their dung balls.-Sandra Swart, Professor of History, University of Stellenbosch
