About this title

From the Back Cover:

Using everyday behaviors in Nature, this delightful and whimsical book celebrates the link between the natural world and quirky humans. Many cliches - the ugly duckling, the pecking order, crying wolf, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, don't count your chickens before they hatch - are often sanitized bits of observed truth in any language. Nature's Life Lessons takes off where some familiar cliches end: it offers lessons from Nature for business people swimming with the sharks, singles on the prowl, families, lovers, the weak, the strong and even the lonely. Nature's Life Lessons is a celebration of the infinitely resourceful ways in which Nature thrives. From these one-liners you will learn about the natural world, have fun and feel a connection to your fellow creatures.
