| Sumario: | "In sixteen stories Steve Daubert pulls the reader into the mystery and immediacy of ecological processes spanning a range from microscopic to tectonic, from microscopic to cosmic forces. Each tale brings the reader into the moment to witness an episode of survival in the wild first-hand. The material is presented on a level of intimacy and detail not usually encountered in other styles of natural history writing." "The book includes chapter notes that document the scientific basis for each story and describe the controversies still surrounding some of them - a splendid resource for families to read and share."--Jacket. |
