The Compleat Cockroach: A Comprehensive Guide to the Most Despised (And Least Understood) Creature on Earth

"Ask yourself how you feel about cockroaches. Do you shiver at the mere mention of their name? Could you kill one with your bare hand? Would you rather not be talking about this?" Even if the answer to all these questions from David George Gordon's The Compleat Cockroach is "EEUGHH" (meaning "yes, indeed"), you might want to get this book for your lawyer, landlord, or 10-year-old. Strong-stomached adults will find it a trove of information on every aspect of cockroach biology, control strategies, literary cockroaches, and cockroach song and dance--not to mention cockroaches in art, as pets, or (gulp) as cuisine.
