Description
"Though people don't often think of plants as needing to defend themselves, this book will illuminate the many ways that plants have developed defense mechanisms through subtle change over time. From prickly cactus spines to color changing and camouflage, varied adaptations of several plant species are covered. The illustrative labeled photos bring this fascinating topic to life and reinforce the concepts readers have learned"--Provided by the publisher.
