Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For being so abundant in our world, acorns are unfairly overlooked. With their distinctive dimpled caps and reputation for being a squirrel's favorite treat, it seems like there's not much to them. In Acorns, naturalist and photographer Charles Hood shows us that there's so much more to these little nuts than is widely acknowledged. Through conversational and often humorous writing, Hood teaches curious readers how acorns work, how they propagate and beat different odds against them, and how a multitude of different animals have come to rely on and love them-including humans. The Studies in Nature series offers close observations, passionate research, and natural obsessions on a variety of nature-related topics. Featuring illustrations by Stacy Hsu and black and white photography, they offer big ideas in a small, giftable, and collectible package. Artikel-Nr. 9781643265650
