This new book takes us through a journey from early life to modern
agriculture. The thirty eight authors present current studies on
the interrelation of plants-animals. This topic has always
fascinated man, as evidenced even by the first chapters of Genesis.
The world of aqueous and terrestrial fauna appeared on early earth
only after the flora covered the areas with the green pigmentation.
Almost all life depends upon sunlight via the photosynthesis of the
botanical world. We read abut the harnessing of bee pollination of
crops to make it an essential component of modern agriculture
endeavor. Some plants seduce insects for pollination by their
appearance (e.g., disguised orchids entice visitors); there is the
production of sweet nectar as a bribe in flowers to attract bees,
butterflies, and honey-sucking birds. A particular outstanding
phenomena are the carnivorous plants that have developed trapping
and digesting systems of insects and higher animals.
