Dire che sono soddisfatto è poco
"This small-format book is packed with facts, oddities, and revelations.
Author Dino Ticli is a geologist, high school science teacher, and a
capable author in disseminating these fields of knowledge. This book
introduces plants and animals selected for their dangerous and
disgust-inducing qualities. The result is an unusual compendium of
ingenious creatures from the plant and animal realms, including the
spitting spider and Bombardier beetle, strangler figs, strangleweed, and
the terrible castor bean, along with many others. The volume contains
these creatures’ scientific and familiar names, their habitat ranges,
exact descriptions, interesting information, stories – including tales
regarding their origins – and is accompanied by pictures expressing the
precise, meticulous, and visually beautiful illustrations of Andrea
Antinori. He is an illustrator passionately dedicated to the world of
nature".
