Descripción del artículo del vendedor

224 pages. Insects are everywhere and in vast numbers too. There are at least a million species, ranging from microscopic beetles and wasps to beetles which are larger and heavier than the smaller mammals. They inhabit desert and arctic tundra, lan d and sea; they are even in our homes and on our bodies. Unsung toilers on our b ehalf, they perform most of the major ecological tasks upon which we and all oth er species depend. Many animals, birds and people rely on them for food, while a ll of our fruits and many of our vegetables are entirely dependent on them for p ollination. We need to know more about these extraordinarily beautiful and compl ex creatures to understand their vital role in maintaining our planet's life sup port systems so that we are better placed to conserve them and, ultimately, our own living space.Alien Empire, and the television series which it accompanie s, open the doors into a world that we have never seen. We discover the design m iracle of insects' bodies - external skeletons that can be adapted for any use; their sophisticated communication systems - on-board sensors which gather visual , auditory and scent data, with transmitters for emitting sound and light signal s; how they function in co-operating groups; their fast and furious reproduction systems, and much much more about their strange structures and lives. As this b ook shows, in their looks and behaviour, insects are as close to an alien life f orm as any we are likely to find in the stars. …
