�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

A wide-ranging examination of the biology, ecology, systematics, and conservation of a group of large and colorful butterflies that occur all over the globe, have been incorporated into human culture, symbolism, and ritual, and are seriously threatened with extinction 40 of the 143 species of the New World swallowtails being on the critical list of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). The late Tyler (1917-1983) left only the outline for the volume. The two scientific educators (Keith S. Brown, Jr. and Kent H. Wilson) who finished and illustrated the book have maintained Tyler's blend of science and aesthetics, including 153 pages of striking color plates. Per Tyler's wish, a paper edition will be sold at cost to students and persons outside the industrialized countries. Paper student edition (unseen), $24.50. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
