✦ Synopsis

The author-scientist tells the story of flower pollination as an adventure. He probes the principles of color vision in animals, the way flowers create their color effects, and the role of the honey guides that lead the pollinators to the hidden nectar. After that follows a wealth of examples of pollination by bees and bumblebees, wasps, flies, beetles, butterflies, birds, bats, and hawkmoths.

Self-pollinating flowers, and those plants whose flowers depend for pollination on wind or water, are also discussed. The book is illustrated with drawings in color and in black and white, and with pictures. A pleasure to read, the book can also be carried into the field for personal observation.
