Zustand: Fair. Unterschrift / Widmung ohne Bezug. Grazil bewegt er sich in seinem eleganten Kleid. Die Farbe Turkis wirkt durchsichtig und steht im Kontrast zu den feinen, dunklen Linien. Diese bizarren Gewander, wie man sie sonst nur auf den Laufstegen der Modemetropolen findet, erschuf die Natur schon vor Millionen von Jahren. Schmetterlinge sind die Trager - anmutig, schon und faszinierend. Der Bildband zeigt die extravaganten Insekten in ihrer vollen Flugelpracht, wobei die teils ubergrossen Schmetterlinge der Tropen im Mittelpunkt stehen. Hier scheint die Natur ihrer Kreativitat freien Lauf gelassen zu haben, denn der Reichtum an Farben und Formen ist uberwaltigend. Makroaufnahmen rucken die Schonheit der Schmetterlinge ins Blickfeld des Lesers. Informatives Hintergrundwissen schafft eine neue Sichtweise auf diese fliegenden Kunstwerke. Tarnen, Tauschen und Locken erfullen viele Funktionen, etwa den Fortbestand der Gattung oder die Abwehr von Feinden. Auch Menschen profitieren von den Talenten dieser Arten, beispielsweise bei der Herstellung kostbarer Seide. Ein Kapitel beschreibt den Weg des Seidenspinners zur Produktion des hochwertigen Stoffes. Der Autor hat zahlreiche Bucher und wissenschaftliche Aufsatze uber Insekten und deren Okologie veroffentlicht, wahrend der Fotograf, ein Insektenexperte, die Nachtfalter seit uber 25 Jahren erforscht und gekonnt in Szene setzt.

Zustand: NEW. 178, 205 illus. 254x178mm. HB. NEW. . This book explores the processes of evolution of mimicry that has produced creatures that can be mistaken by predators for dead leaves, toxic beetles, scorpions, venomous snakes, lizards, frogs, bats, or insect-eating birds. A selection from hundreds of thousands of photographs shows how butterflies and moths in their natural environment deceive their enemies by their colour patterns and behaviour. The book introduces and explores an amazing world of camouflage and mimicry. For biologists, this book opens up a new dimension to our understanding of evolutionary theory. For others it will, it is hoped, intensify their desire to help preserve the precious environments in which these seemingly alien but astonishingly beautiful insects are to be found.

Zustand: NEW. 248, 145 illus. 254x178mm. HB. NEW. . This masterpiece chronicles the travels, discoveries and accomplishments of Miles Moss, who went to Peru in 1907, and from 1912 to 1945 was the Anglican Chaplain of the largest parish in the world, one that encompassed the whole of the Amazon basin from Iquitos in Peru to the Atlantic; an area roughly 3,000 miles long and 800 miles wide, amounting to about one quarter of the South American continent. Moss' great passion was Lepidoptera: his major contributions to science were in the form of three classic works on hawk-moths and swallowtail butterflies, all published in the journal of his patron Lord Walter Rothschild who established Tring Museum containing the largest collection of butterflies and moths in the world. Following in the wake of great Victorian naturalists such as Wallace and Bates, Moss' story has been neglected: apart from his publications in scientific journals he left a collection of 25,000 insects, unpublished manuscripts on Amazonian natural history, and some exceptionally beautiful water-colours of bizarre-looking caterpillars now archived in the Natural History Museum, London. Authored by Philip E. Howse, this beautifully illustrated book is fascinating account of the works of one of the most important naturalists in Amazonia during the early 20th Century.

It reveals what no museum collection can tell us about the evolution of mimicry that has produced creatures that can be mistaken by predators for dead leaves, toxic beetles, scorpions, venomous snakes, lizards, frogs, bats, or insect-eating birds. A selection from hundreds of thousands of photographic images shows how butterflies and moths in their natural environment deceive their enemies by their colour patterns and behaviour. The book introduces us to an amazing world that most naturalists and biologists never knew existed, and explains why this is so. For biologists this book opens up a new dimension to our understanding of evolutionary theory. For others it will, it is hoped, intensify their desire to help preserve the precious environments in which these seemingly alien but astonishingly beautiful insects are to be found.

Prof Philip Howse's book Vicar of the Amazon, chronicles the life of the Reverend Arthur Miles Moss, a little-known genius who explored the Amazon, collecting and breeding butterflies and moths in period from 1903 to 1947 - a period during which little about the Amazon and its natural history became known to the world. Miles Moss went to Peru in 1907 and from 1912 to 1945 was the Anglican Chaplain of the largest parish in the world, one that encompassed the whole of the Amazon basin from Iquitos in Peru to the Atlantic; an area roughly 3,000 miles long and 800 miles wide, amounting to about one quarter of the South American continent. His great passion was Lepidoptera: his major contributions to science were in the form of three classic works on hawk-moths and swallowtail butterflies, all published in the journal of his patron Lord Walter Rothschild who established Tring Museum containing the largest collection of butterflies and moths in the world. Following in the wake of great Victorian naturalists such as Wallace and Bates, Moss' story has been neglected: apart from his publications in scientific journals he left a collection of 25,000 insects, unpublished manuscripts on Amazonian natural history, and some incredibly beautiful water-colours of bizarre-looking caterpillars now archived in the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. 241 pp., many illustrations, cloth bound gr. 8 [18.5 x 26 cm] [with dust jacket].
