Small Woodland Creatures (Guidebooks (Oxford))

by Lars-Henrik Olsen

Description

This delightful book is one of the first three volumes of Oxford University Press's new Pocket Guide natural history series. The series fills the need for lighter weight guides for those who want to find out about the common organisms they come across during countryside excursions withouthaving the specialist knowledge required to make detailed species identifications. All the books in the series are attractively designed and generously illustrated with plentiful high quality colour line show more drawings and photographs throughout. The accompanying text is short but informative, withnotes on general biology as well as on identification. Small Woodland Creatures covers the commoner 'creepy-crawlies' and their artefacts likely to be encountered on woodland walks - from ants to worms and from galls to woodworm holes. They are arranged by animal group and also by the place theymight be found, whether inside fungi or wrapped in leaves. Sections on significant aspects of the animals' biology - parasitism, camouflage, and so forth - are introduced alongside the groups for which they are relevant. A pleasure to dip into, the book will be an invaluable accompaniment forwoodland walks at any time of the year. show less

Glimrende bog, hvis man skulle have glemt hvad den der på forsiden hedder. Eller har mødt en bille, der var ved at spise den svamp, man ellers selv ville have med hjem og putte i gryden. show less
