Sinopsis

When the first birds appeared on earth about 150 million years ago, the insects were here to greet them. Inevitably the two groups came to exploit each other, and as the eons passed, they became increasingly enmeshed in a complex web of interrelationships: birds eating bugs; blood-sucking insects feeding on birds; parasitic insects infesting birds; and birds struggling to rid themselves of the parasites. In this text, Gilbert Waldbauer describes these and many other interactions between birds and insects.

Críticas

"The Birder's Bug Books" is an unusual yet highly engaging thinkpiece devoted to selected topics in natural history...Few readers are likely to come away from [Waldbauer's] book without acquiring significant new facts and perspectives. Natural history books designed for non-professionals often repeat a familiar nucleus of established lore, while many scientific books are so narrowly focused as to be inaccessible to non-expert readers."The Birder's Bug Book" demonstrates that there is still much to be learned from the traditional naturalist's approach and that there is still a place for wide-ranging, articulately written, and thoughtful nature writing.--Rich Cech"Birdin" (10/01/1999)
