The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator

A fascinating topic that will make you view history with a new perspective.
Style is a bit journalistic and use of language a bit too clever for my taste, but the book is thoroughly researched and well constructed. It is estimated that 52 billion of the 108 billion humans who have ever lived died from mosquito-borne diseases The bulk of the book is a sweeping survey of the impact that this had on human history (and evolution). It will make you see familiar events in a fresh light!

Fascinating insight in to how mosquitos have shaped the world
Interesting read, particularly at first, but it became more about listing wars and less about the machinations and influences of mosquitos about halfway through - repetitive, could’ve condensed it. First few chapters were absolutely fascinating though and well worth a read.

On time and well packaged
This was as advertised and came on time and well packaged. Will certainly use again

Not dolphins or white mice - it's mosquitos!
Really interesting and somewhat of an eye-opener in places.
