{"product_id":"pollination-power-heather-angel-9780226366913","title":"Pollination Power","description":"From the wings of moths to the feet of hoverflies and the head feathers of nectar-seeking birds, the process of pollination is a natural marvel. How do the many annuals and perennials and shrubs and trees that populate the globe manage to lure the aid of bees and butterflies and other creatures at exactly the appropriate time? \u003ci\u003ePollination Power\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique, truly bird's-eye view of the wonders of pollination at work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In stunning full-color images, employing the latest photographic techniques, esteemed photographer Heather Angel has captures the intimate interactions of plants with their floral pollinators. The plants come not only from Angel's Surrey backyard and the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew, but from twenty countries where Angel has travelled--from the rich floral kingdoms of the Cape of South Africa to the diversity of China and the Americas. The photos illustrate the varied techniques that flowers use to communicate with their pollinators. Some, for example, change color when the flower no longer has rewards to offer. Others control precisely when pollinators enter or leave by timing when they open and close their petals or when they emit a scent. This fascinating array of pollination repertoires crossfertilizes Angel's photos with a descriptive text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring both common and exotic plants and temperate and tropical floral, \u003ci\u003ePollination Power \u003c\/i\u003ewill entice anyone with a passion for botanicals, from gardeners to botanists alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Angel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022636691X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226366913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 11.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Heather Angel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44212958658815,"sku":"9780226366913","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b62d4399-d89a-4d80-8553-171a690ebe2a.jpg?v=1692111246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pollination-power-heather-angel-9780226366913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
