Description: Celebrating the small creatures that have emerged triumphant on the planet, this work documents the survival strategies of insects and reveals them as masters of achievement, forms of life worthy of study and respect from even the most recalcitrant entomophobe. Full color.
Synopsis: Independent Publisher Book Award for Best Science Book Winner of the 2003 Professional/Scholarly Publishing Award of the Association of American Publishers, Biology Category Imagine beetles ejecting defensive sprays as hot as boiling water; female moths holding their mates for ransom; caterpillars disguising themselves as flowers by fastening petals to their bodies; termites emitting a viscous glue to rally fellow soldiers - and you will have entered an insect world once beyond imagining, a world observed and described down to its tiniest astonishing detail by Thomas Eisner.
