Description
In this richly observed exploration of the natural world, Bernd Heinrich examines how plants and animals meet the challenges—and seize the opportunities—of summer. From heat-defying cicadas and hummingbirds preparing for perilous migration to trees that cease growing despite lingering warmth, he reveals the intricate strategies of reproduction, feeding, growth, and survival. Blending rigorous biology with vivid field observations and elegant, poetic prose, the book illuminates the complex relationships between organisms and their habitats. The result is an insightful celebration of summer’s energy, ingenuity, and often-hidden drama.
