Milk without honey / by Harms, Hanna,1994-author.; Kemp, Ruth Ahmedzai,translator.(CARDINAL)623715; Lewis, Sarah Wyndham,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)678570; Tautz, Jürgen,writer of afterword.(CARDINAL)776121;
Includes bibliographical references (page 108)."Bees are vital to securing our food supply. We could live in a paradise where insects, especially bees pollinate fragrant seas of flowers whose fruits we harvest. Instead, vast lawns are now replacing flower gardens, and agriculture is characterized by monocultures. Pesticides and climate change are also causing insect mortality, with dramatic consequences for the global ecosystem. As we destroy the insect populations, honey is just one of many foods that will no longer be available to us, unless we learn to honor our innate connection with nature before it's too late."--

The lives of bats : a natural history / by Reeder, DeeAnn M.,author.aut.(CARDINAL)319498;
Includes bibliographical references and index.This is a guide to the natural history of the world's bats. Bats are the second-largest order of mammals and inhabit almost every corner of the globe, but these secretive creatures are often maligned and misunderstood. With more than 1,400 species worldwide, they are crucial contributors to ecosystems, controlling insect populations and fulfilling an essential role as pollinators. This one-of-a-kind guide showcases the unique characteristics and extraordinary diversity of our planet's bat life, providing an inviting introduction to these marvelous creatures. Written by a leading expert and packed with the latest scientific findings, The Lives of Bats blends diagrams and stunning photographs with in-depth coverage of profiled species to offer an incomparable look at these unsung heroes of the natural world.
