The recent discovery that honey bees formulate plans and have mental maps suggests that we still have much to learn about these fascinating animals. Their versatility~and their startling abilities~compel us to examine their perceptions and processes of awareness as deeply as we do our own. In The Honey Bee, James and Carol Gould show us creatures of unexpected complexity~models of domesticity who are able to produce food, learn, navigate, and communicate through intricate dances. Indeed, their colonies represent the ultimate socialist state, with complete selflessness and redistribution of "income:' The Goulds begin by briefly tracing humankind's reliant relationship with honey bees from prehistoric times to the present day. They show us how early humans risked their lives to tap their only concentrated source of sugar, invading nearly inaccessible nests defended by thousands of swarming bees. They describe how honey was later used as the first preservative, being too thick for bacteria to inhabit and impossible for fungi to metabolize. And they describe efforts, successful only over the last 80 years, to domesticate honey bees, an advance that has opened the door to rigorous scientific observation and experimentation and has yielded precise knowledge about the way honey bees live. The Goulds introduce readers to the intricate and finely tuned life cycles both of individual bees and of colonies. They examine the elaborate communication systems that regulate the activities of up to 60,000 colony members, including the fascinating dance language, a symbolic system surpassed in complexity and richness only by human speech. We discover how honey bees are able to make essential decisions, weighing the costs and benefits of alternative food sources. We learn how these tiny, nearsighted creatures manage to navigate with great precision. We see how bees memorize the odor, color, shape, and pattern of each species of flower they harvest and the best time of day to forage for them. And ultimately we come to understand the honey bee as one of the most remarkable and highly evolved species in the world, with much to teach us about the possibilities and the mysteries of animal learning and communication.

New condition dark maroon linen boards with silver spine lettering, contained in a new condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preface by David Morrison; Prologue; Epilogue: Cosmic Impacts: A Planetary Perspective; Further Readings; Sources of I…llustrations and Index. Illustrated with color photographs, black-and-white photographs, color illustrations, charts and graphs. "Pioneer, Venera, Mariner, Galileo, Giotto, Voyager, Magellan . The names given to space missions evoke images of dramatic, triumphant discovery - and the results have lived up to those images. Direct investigations of the planets and other bodies by these probes have yielded tremendous amounts of information, taking us to unprecedented levels of understanding how the solar system evolved. Exploring Planetary Worlds incorporates the findings from recent space investigations into a fascinating portrayal of the planets and associated planetary satellites, rings, asteroids, and comets. Written by world-renowned planetary scientist David Morrison, the book focuses not only on the processes that shaped each planet's distinctive character, but also on what the unique individuality of the planets tells us about the Earth and the origin and development of our solar system. Morrison's approach is unique. Rather than describe each planet separately, he groups them by primary traits, comparing and distinguishing their sizes, atmospheres, surfaces, magnetic fields, energy sources, chemical compositions, and geologic histories. Throughout, surprising discoveries are revealed - Saturn is not the only planet with rings; the greenhouse effect has rendered the surface of Venus hotter than that of Mercury; the Great Red Spot of Jupiter is actually a massive weather system, and a similar dark spot exists on Neptune; icy and arid Mars once displayed Earth-like rains and rivers; and more. Morrison concludes with one of the most talked-about topics in modern astronomy - the role of collisions between comets, asteroids, and the Earth in shaping the history of life on our planet." - from the inner front jacket flap.
