Krátky popis
'Any writer who can evoke the existential sadness of a lonely
cockroach, or make krill thrilling, or describe a snorkelling
colleague being engulfed in a ",gargantuan cetacean bum
detonation", is a real gift to science communication ...
thought-provoking' GuardianEverything you ever wanted to know about
how animals live together, and what that means for usSome animal
societies hold a mirror up to the human world: elephants hold
funerals for departed family members. Pinyon jays run collective
creches.Rats will go out of their way to help a cold, wet stranger.
Other lifestyles can seem intensely alien. Take locusts, surging
over the land in their millions, unable to slow down for a moment
because the hungry ranks behind will literally bite their legs off
if they don't stay one step ahead (actually, you might know a few
people like that).But no matter how offputting an animal might be,
behavioural scientist Ashley Ward can usually find something worth
celebrating. Travelling the world from the Serengeti to the frozen
Antarctic ocean, with stops in the muddy fields and streams of his
native northern Yorkshire, he brings his curious eye and infectious
humour right down to their level. The result is a world-expanding,
myth-busting tour of some of nature's greatest marvels, in
delightfully broad-minded company.
