Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival
Heinrich, Bernd
2003 170001347 From hot-blooded flying squirrels and golden-crowned kinglets to sleeping black bears and torpid turtles—and even frozen insects and frogs—the animal kingdom relies on amazing evolutionary innovations to survive winter. Twice nominated for the National Book Award, biologist and illustrator Bernd Heinrich explores his local woods, where he delights in endless feats of animal inventiveness. Because winter drastically affects the most elemental component of all life, water, radical changes in a creature's physiology and behavior must take place to match the demands of the environment. Some animals survive by developing their own antifreeze; others remain in constant motion to maintain their high body temperatures. Illustrated throughout with the author's delicate drawings, the book is infused with his enchantment with nature. Published at twenty five dollars. Ecco Pr 0060197447 / 9780060197445
