This book is a compilation of writings focused on conventional and unconventional insect products. Some of these products are commercials successes, while others are waiting to be launched and are the potential produce of the future. In addition to the well known products honey, mulberry silk, and lac, the book primarily concentrates on silk producing insects other than the mulberry silkworm, insects as food, as sources of medicines, pest and weed managers, and as pollinators.
The book highlights the all pervasive role of insects in improving human lives at multiple levels. Accordingly, while most books on insects concentrate on how to limit growth in their population, it instead focuses on how to propagate them. In each chapter, the book brings to the fore how insects are far more beneficial to us than their well publicised harmful roles.
This book approaches both unconventional and conventional insect products, such as honey, silk and lac in much more depth than the available literature. It investigates different aspects of the production of these insects, such as the related processes, problems and utilities, in dedicated chapters.
Because this book deals with the production of insects or their produce, it has been named Industrial Entomology, perhaps the only book that truly reveals the tremendous potential of insects to help humans live better lives. Based on the research and working experience of the contributors, who are global experts in their respective fields, it provides authentic, authoritative and updated information on these topics.
The book offers a unique guide for students, teachers, policy planners, small scale industrialists, and government ministries of agriculture and industry across the globe. It will provide a much required stimulus to insect appreciation and generate enthusiasm for research and the broader acceptance for insect produce. Hopefully, it will also present the Indian perspective on these topics to a global readership.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書是關於傳統和非傳統昆蟲產品的寫作彙編。其中一些產品在商業上取得了成功，而另一些則在等待推出，並且是未來潛在的產品。除了眾所周知的產品如蜂蜜、桑蠶絲和蠟之外，這本書主要集中於其他產絲昆蟲、作為食物的昆蟲、作為藥物來源的昆蟲、害蟲和雜草管理者，以及授粉者。
本書突顯了昆蟲在多個層面上改善人類生活的普遍角色。因此，雖然大多數關於昆蟲的書籍集中於如何限制其種群增長，但本書則專注於如何繁殖它們。在每一章中，本書都強調昆蟲對我們的益處遠超過其廣為宣傳的有害角色。
這本書對於傳統和非傳統昆蟲產品，如蜂蜜、絲綢和蠟，進行了比現有文獻更深入的探討。它在專門的章節中調查了這些昆蟲生產的不同方面，如相關過程、問題和用途。
因為這本書涉及昆蟲或其產品的生產，所以被命名為《工業昆蟲學》，或許是唯一一本真正揭示昆蟲幫助人類改善生活的巨大潛力的書籍。基於貢獻者的研究和工作經驗，他們是各自領域的全球專家，本書提供了這些主題的真實、權威和最新的信息。
本書為全球的學生、教師、政策規劃者、小型工業者以及農業和工業部門的政府機構提供了獨特的指導。它將為昆蟲的欣賞提供急需的刺激，並激發對研究的熱情以及對昆蟲產品的更廣泛接受。希望它也能向全球讀者呈現印度在這些主題上的觀點。
