From flying squirrels to grizzly bears, and from torpid turtles to insects with antifreeze, the animal kingdom relies on some staggering evolutionary innovations to survive winter. Unlike their human counterparts, who must alter the environment to accommodate physical limitations, animals are adaptable to an amazing range of conditions.
Examining everything from food sources in the extremely barren winter land-scape to the chemical composition that allows certain creatures to survive, Heinrich's Winter World awakens the largely undiscovered mysteries by which nature sustains herself through winter's harsh, cruel exigencies.

The Tao of Pooh (Paperback)
$12.60
ISBN-13: 9780140067477Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Penguin (Non-Classics), 07/01/1983
One of the world's great Taoist masters isn't Chinese, or a venerable
philosopher, but is in fact none other than A. A. Milne's effortlessly
calm, still, reflective bear Winnie-the-Pooh. While Eeyore frets and
Piglet hesitates and Rabbit calculates and Owl pontificates, Pooh just
is. And that's the clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists.
