This is an interesting account of the biology and habits of bears and the giant panda which includes a quantity of anthropolgical material on man's relationship with bears over the centuries. "This eighteenth book in the 'Of the World' series portrays bears and the panda as more than just an interesting group of animals. Although they are fascinating in many respects of their biology, they are also symbolic of the natural world, both in their own right and in the way that we humans treat them. The authors present a picture which encompasses science, natural history and another deeper, almost spiritual, aspect of bears. What emerges is an engrossing story of their lives and deaths." Chapters include: Spirits of the wilderness; Classification, form and function; Evolution of bears; Food, feeding and energetics; Behaviour; Conservation. . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 54885
