Awareness of the need for pollination of the date palm stretches back into classical antiquity, but general recognition of the significance of pollination, and the importance of flower-visiting insects, had to wait for the scientific reawakening which gathered pace from the closing decades of the seventeenth century onwards. As time went on, other agents of pollina-tion wind, water, birds and bats were found to play a part. One of the main reasons for the enduring appeal of the flower-insect relationship must be that it is so funda-mentally one in which both partners benefit. In our present go-getting age we can sometimes be more conscious of how the partners exploit one-another's services (and indeed there are some examples of very one-sided exploitation between flowers and t.

First edition, 1996. Hardback. 479pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. The importance of insects in pollinating flowers is so well known it is easy to forget that it was discovered little more than two centuries ago: before that it was believed that the concern of bees with flowers was simply a matter of collecting honey. But the methods by which pollen reaches the female flower, enabling fertilisation and seed production to take place, include some of the most varied and fascinating mechanisms in the world. This book describes all the ways in which pollination is brought about - some of them being simply amazing and even bizarre. A great introduction to a complex but easily accessible subject of huge fascination. 8 colour plates and over 250 black & white photographs and drawings. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book in fine condition. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped. Spine rather faded. Book.
