Focusing on Northern Europe, the first edition of The Natural History of
Pollination, in 1973, was a factual treasure trove. This long-awaited update
charms and informs with elegant prose and beautiful illustrations, and includes
bat and bird pollination within its expanded scope. The original inspired a
generation of ecologists; this second edition should thrill their grandchildren.
