Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo. 256 pages. First Edition. SUMMARY:"To many of us the curious creatures described so vividly in this book are so unfamiliar as to seem almost incredible. Taking a number of different forms of animal life to illustrate her point in… each case, Erna Pinner gives examples of curious behavior in the struggle for food, in nest-building, in paternal nursing: she shows us birds that cannot fly and four-footed animals that can; creatures which, either for protection or for aggression, make themselves appear what they are not; creatures living on other creatures for better or for worse; creatures ranking as giants in their own particular sphere. Then there is the curious inter-dependent existence of plants and animals; the curious things that can do come out of an egg; creatures living in water but having to come up for air, and others living upside down. Throughout the whole book, however, it seems quite clear that usually there is a good reason for the apparent oddity with which Nature has seen fit to clothe her many offspring; and the author -- whose wide travels have enabled her to observe at first hand many of these strange animals -- furnishes a very convincing account of the influence which the struggle for existence plays in such extraordinary forms of animal behavior. Erna Pinner's illustrations and text are happily combined in making this a book of quite exceptional interest, instruction and entertainment. CONTENTS: Foreword -- The Struggle for Food -- Nest Building -- Nursing Fathers -- Water Creatures That Breathe Air -- Animals and Plants -- What Comes Out of an Egg -- Four-Footed Creatures That Fly -- Giants of the Animal World - Living Upside Down -- Animal Camouflage -- Symbiosis and Parasitism -- Insects of Strange Forms and Habits -- Birds that Cannot Fly -- A Parade of Curiosities -- Index.
