The first accessible text on the topic of animals as environmental
predictors, bringing together the literature from as far back as
18th century through to the present day. - Covers wider terrain
than other titles in a relatively unexplored subject area. The text
discusses climate change (highly topical) and how animals may be
able to be used to predict future weather and climatic events.
There is international potential as the climate challenge is
global, and the examples span worldwide case studies. The sources
used include myths, anecdotes, news articles and stories backed up
by relevant scientific literature in international peer-reviewed
journals. Each chapter starts with a short fictitious story to set
the scene and anecdotes from indigenous cultures are especially
interesting. The author draws on his vast expertise in biochemistry
and cell biology. The science does not impede the less technical
reader, due to the engaging mix of stories, anecdotes, personal
observations and scientific underpinnings.
