About This Item
UK: William Collins & Co Ltd, 1973. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. 222 x 157 mm. NO. The role of insects in pollinating flowers is today a commonplace - so it is easy to forget that it is a discovery just a little older than the invention of the steam engine: before that we imagined that the concern of bees with flowers was just a matter of collecting honey. This book is a clear and thorough account of all the ways in which pollination is effected - by wind, water, even bats; but principally, in many curious ways, by diversity of insect species. Illustrated with 134 drawings, 19 photographs in colour and 180 in black & white. This is a unique introduction to a complex yet easily accessible subject of great fascination. 19 colour plates, 181 black & white photographs and 134 line drawings.Previous owner's signature on inside front cover.
