What is Life in the Undergrowth about?

288 pages : 24 cm "This illustrated book by veteran naturalist Sir David Attenborough offers a rare glimpse into the secret life of invertebrates, the world's tiniest - and most fascinating - creatures." "Small by virtue of their lack of backbones, this group of living things plays a surprisingly large role in the evolutionary cycle, Attenborough points out. These diverse creatures (more than one million species are believed to exist) roamed the earth before us and will still be here when we have gone. They are the pollinators, cleaners, and recyclers of life on earth. Without them, we would not last long." "Attenborough has studied and enjoyed these diminutive beings since he was a schoolboy in the Leicestershire countryside of England. Life in the Undergrowth, part of his innovative series on natural history topics, looks at invertebrates the world over: their arrival on land and mastery of every habitat, and their fantastic variety of hunting, mating, and highly organized social behaviors."--Jacket Includes index TV tie-in 1.
