Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. "Sex is the most essential function in nature. Without it, the natural world would be a gray shadow of its present variety and beauty-no colorful birds, no flowers, no bullfrogs or cicadas calling on hot summer nights, no chorus of birdsong at dawn. yet to anyone who has pondered the odds of a single sperm finding its egg, or watched a peacock struggling with his impossible tail, sex appears to rejoice with his impossible tail, sex appears to rejoice in an exaggerated wastefulness out of tune with nature's usual economy. From the simple algae to the elaborate display of the bird of paradise, 'Sex in Nature' unravels the mysteries associated with sex in the natural world: why do whales sing, and why does an orchid hide its nectaries at the bottom of a foot-long tube? Why are courtship rituals so common? Why are male hanging flies transvestites? Indeed, why do plants and animals bother with sex at all, when there are other, much simpler ways to reproduce?" Profusely illustrated in full-color and black-and-white photography and drawings (many full page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "In addition to unraveling the mysteries of sex in the natural world, 'Sex in Nature" addresses these important questions: what can we humans learn about our own sexual behavior from that of other creatures? And how does cultural conditioning affect our biological drives?" 224 pages. Minor shelf rubbing to DJ cover, elsewise a fine, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy! *NOTE: Additional shipping will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment in conjunction with destination.
