"The technicolor beauty of nature is endlessly mesmerizing. The colors we see are more than decorative though; they serve a valuable purpose beyond beauty. This book explains what those colors mean in the animal kingdom and reveals how they have evolved to help all living creatures hunt, hide, feed, find a mate, fight, live and die. Anna Omedes, Director of the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona is a biologist with a PhD in animal behavior from the University of Wales (UK). In this book, she shares just how important colors are through a fascinating mix of animal portraits. Her insightful studies will leave you awestruck." -- Page 4 of cover. |
