    – Natural scientists, social scientists and humanists to assess if (or how) we may begin to coexist harmoniously with the mosquito. – Chapters assess polarizing arguments for conserving and preserving mosquitoes, as well as for controlling and killing them, elaborating on possible consequences of both strategies. – This book provides informed answers to the dual question: could we eliminate mosquitoes, and should we? Offering insights spanning the technical to the philosophical, this is the ‘go to’ book for exploring humanity’s many relationships with the mosquito-which becomes a journey to finding better ways to inhabit the natural world.
