Keeping All the Pieces: Perspectives on Natural History and the Environment

by Whit Gibbons, J. Whitfield Gibbons

With the background of a scholar and the enthusiasm of a child, Gibbons explores the many pieces that support our environment such as caterpillar disguises, the origins of tumbleweeds, and fish that produce their own antifreeze. With compelling anecdotes and witty narrative, he celebrates the beauty of biodiversity and laments those that have become extinct.
