Complete Flea is a study of the flea in human culture. The author explores the flea as subject and artifact in art, poems, literature, and plays. It is typical to find books such as Complete Flea for other animals such as cats, dogs, etc...but a parasite is an unusual compilation.The book is illustrated with some nice detailed sketches of the flea from the advent of microscopy, as well as works from various artists.The Complete Flea says nothing of the incredible biology of the flea, its ecology, or habits. Rather it focuses purely on its impression on human culture, which has usually been non-disease related. For those that have a soft spot in their heart for these little wingless flies...Complete Flea will offer much intellectual fodder for conversation.
