The View From The Oak is a
groundbreaking work of ethology --
the study of the way animals
perceive their environment -- from
two of America's most respected
educators. With this new,
illustrated paperback edition, The
New Press brings back into print
this classic exploration of the
strange but marvelous ways in which
living creatures experience space,
sense time, and communicate with
each other.
What do flowers in a meadow look
like to a bee? How does the world
appear to a snake who "sees" by
detecting minute temperature
changes? What is it like to live
in the water strider's two-
dimensional universe? Including
hands-on games and activities,
The View from the Oak helps
readers enter the fascinating,
often invisible world of nature.
