In upstate New York, on eight acres called Wasp Farm, Howard Evans spent hundreds of hours observing a remarkable group of insects - their life cycles, their behavior, their infinite resourcefulness in the business of survival. From his detailed observations emerges a rich study in comparative behavior and a striking picture of a fascinating part of the insect world. "Where scientific experiment and observation offer an explanation of 'why' the wasps behave as they dop, Mr. Evans explains in vivid prose... This is nature writing of the highest integrity. Even more, it is in the great tradtition of the field naturalists - such as Gilbert White, Darwin, and Beebe - who went to the living animal for their information rather than to musty museum cases... The author has made a convincing case for the simple joys of stretching out on the ground and discovering a new world in the commonplace lives around us." - New York Times Book Review No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Fascinating natural history of wasps who are all around us but whose behavior I was mostly unaware. I learned a lot from this book. ( )
