The infested mind is a brilliant look at humans relationship with insects (and arachnids). This book delves into history to look at the evolutionary need for entomophobia, while also pointing out the excessive and overly dramatic side of arachnophobia. It also provides chapters discussing paraphilia, entomophagy, and entomophilia - among other topics.
Lockwood's writing style includes not only the science and psychology of the matter, but also historical tales, case studies and his own personal experience. The result in an interesting and thought provoking look at our relationship with our six and eight legged friends.
If you, like me, are fascinated by insects, I think this is a great book to add to your collection.
