Because Of Insects A Collection Of True Stories And Editorials

Authors: Dr Abraham Verghese,
Publish Date/ Year : 2024 | Format: Paperback | Genre : Medical Science | Other Book Detail

Because of Insects is because of the push from AVIAN Trust, especially from its Managing Trustee, Dr. M A Rashmi. She is also the Co-Editor-In-Chief of India’s most popular quarterly journal, Insect Environment. The Journal founded by me during my early forties, weaved through the hearts of hundreds of entomologists. Their excitement enthused my editorials in every issue of the Insect Environment. Dr. Rashmi who joined me first as my doctorate student, then as the Co-Editor and business partner in our startups Rashvee-IPRS and Shree Nidhi Plant Health Clinic read through all my editorials and seemed so amazed and bowled over, that she requested me that it should come as a compilation, notwithstanding the several encomiums and awards that came my way for the same.
