"A rare achievement.. Colinvaux makes us marvel with him at the stability of nature and the incredible fit of every part of it."--New York Times Book Review "A mind-tingling survey ... of the many factors involved in the interrelationships of all living things... An incisive and stirring book, and a model of scientific explanation."--New Yorker "A highly readable and accessible account of the complex way in which nature has molded its ecosystems by fitting predators to prey and food chains to both."--John Barkham
