Krátky popis
A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated natural history of
insects. Insects are the most successful group of animals ever to
have lived. They comprise a million species and perhaps 10
quintillion individuals: one in every four animals on the planet is
a beetle, one in every ten is a butterfly or moth.Much of life on
earth depends on the activities of these busy, teeming arthropods,
from pollination to the breaking down of waste matter. In Alien
Worlds, Steve Nicholls draws on a lifetime of writing about,
photographing and filming the natural world to create an ambitious
account of insect evolution and biology. Each chapter of Alien
Worlds centres on one or more of the traits of insect life that
have allowed them to hold dominion over the earth's terrestrial and
freshwater environments for so long, from their staggering
reproductive ability to their complex partnership with flowering
plants, and from their remarkable level of care for their young to
their sophisticated social lives.Alien Worlds explores what insects
are, and why there are so many of them, the impact on insects (the
only flying invertebrates) of the possession of wings, and the
extraordinary sensory world of insects. It offers a winning fusion
of glorious imagery and fine biological writing by an entomological
specialist who writes both entertainingly and with authentic
scientific rigour - and who also happens to be a very gifted nature
photographer.
