About this Item

Illustrated, thick octavo, pp 479, very clean internally, paperback, the upper cover slightly creased at the lower corner, the spine faded. ["The importance of insects in pollinating flowers is so well known it is easy to forget that it was discovered little more than two centuries ago: before that it was believed that the concern of bees with flowers was simply a matter of collecting honey. But the methods by which pollen reaches the female flower, enabling fertilisation and seed production to take place, include some of the most varied and fascinating mechanisms in the world. This book describes all the ways in which pollination is brought about - some of them being simply amazing and even bizarre. A great introduction to a complex but easily accessible subject of huge fascination."].
