Item description from seller

Large format (9 x 12") softcover in brown illustrated covers with many illustrations by Elizabeth Miles Derrickson. The author, the former world expert on aphids, was professor of entomology at the University of Maine at Orono and president of the Entomological Society of America in a time when very few women were in academia. Patch was well known for her biologically accurate books for children as well as her many scientific papers and books. This is her second children's book and perhaps the first children's book on phenology - the telling of time by the occurrence of nature's awakening and seldom seen. Previous owner's name on top right front cover, wear to spine. Internally very good. Ships in a box.
