If you are interested in beetles (and you should be) this book is a must-read! The full-page, gorgeous, brightly colored photographs made me audibly gasp. The text provides both fascinating detail on specific insects (did you know lightening bugs can help us in the search for alien life?) and a good, foundational understanding of biological concepts such as taxonomy, evolution, and symbiosis. While designed as an appreciation of beetles from a biologist's standpoint, I would highly encourage artists to pick up this book as well. There is much inspiration to be found in the colors, shapes, and patterns of the most biologically successful animal on earth. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles is an authoritative reference in a breathtakingly beautiful volume, one that will leave every reader with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and--yes--fondness for these amazing creatures and their place in nature. In terms of numbers, beetles are the most successful creatures on earth: about 350,000 species of beetles have been described since 1758. They range from tiny to gigantic, occupy sundry habitats, and eat everything--plants, animals, and their own remains. An Inordinate Fondness for Beetles provides an engaging look at these magnificent yet poorly understood creatures and highlights the absolutely essential role they play in the dynamics of nearly every terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. And, as this book beautifully demonstrates, the aesthetics of beetle design are amazing. The fantastic colors and shapes of these creatures warrant the gorgeous color photography lavished on them in this book. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
