As the snow melts and the springtime approaches, the pet kingdom awakens. In Summertime World, Bernd Heinrich, the bestselling writer of Winter World, brings us an up-close and personal view of that awakening and rebirth. Almost all life on the surface of the earth derives its energy from the sun, either straight through photosynthesis or indirectly by eating plants, making warmer summer months the time when character is most active-feeding, fighting, mating, and nesting. From frogs, wasps, and caterpillars to hummingbirds and woodpeckers, Heinrich explores these family pets' adaptations for making it through and procreating through the short windows of warmer summer months, and he delights in the apparently infinite feats of pet animal inventiveness he discovers there. Infused along with his inexhaustible enchantment with character, Summer World stimulates a feeling of think about and breakthrough for the natural world and its own busiest season.
