The book provides a fascinating overview about current and sophisticated developments in applied entomology that are powered by molecular biology and that can be summarized under a novel term: insect biotechnology. By analogy with the application of powerful molecular biological tools in medicine (red biotechnology), plant protection (green biotechnology) and industrial processing (white biotechnology), insect biotechnology (yellow biotechnology) provides novel tools and strategies for human welfare and nutrition. Insect Biotechnology has emerged as a prospering discipline with considerable economic potential, and encompasses the use of insect model organisms and insect-derived molecules in medical research as well as in modern plant protection measures.

Resin craft is a great way to make beautiful items for your home and jewelry for yourself or others. Hazel Oliver is the name behind Badger & Birch, whose eco-friendly practices include using solvent free and non-toxic resin, and incorporating natural waste such as mussel and oyster shells from her local restaurant, as well as natural minerals, gemstones, and crystals. In this her first book, Hazel shows you the basics of resin craft, including mixing and pouring, making molds, and finishing your pieces. The 30 projects include cups, trays, boxes, and other items for the home, as well as molded jewelry pieces in shell shapes and other natural forms. The soft colors, natural elements and beautiful finish of Hazel's work will inspire you to take up this flourishing new craft, or give you new ideas if you are already a keen resin crafter.
