Unlike their human counterparts, who must alter their environment to accommodate our physical limitations, animals are adaptable to an amazing range of conditions&ndash;&ndash;i.e., radical changes in a creature's physiology take place to match the demands of the environment. Winter provides an especially remarkable situation, because of how drastically it affects the most elemental component of all life: water. </P><P> Examining everything from food sources in the extremely barren winter landscape to the chemical composition that allows certain creatures to survive, Heinrich's <i>Winter World</i> awakens the largely undiscovered mysteries by which nature sustains herself through the harsh, cruel exigencies of winters </P><P> </b></b></P> 246838 2003 Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival total:198|5:75|4:76|3:43|2:2|1:2| 198 814 361 37 5 1 false false Sun Dec 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Aug 05 17:27:48 -0700 2008 Sun Dec 21 11:31:23 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue May 22 15:19:29 -0700 2007 Tue May 22 15:20:51 -0700 2007 4 1 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Oct 08 16:29:48 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 09 13:21:36 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Dec 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jun 12 03:59:11 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 03:59:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 10:54:26 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 18 08:47:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Mar 10 12:28:11 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 12:30:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 06:34:33 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 07:21:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 02:00:17 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 18 06:02:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 14:48:35 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 14:55:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 14:42:08 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 21:50:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Mon Apr 20 17:12:08 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 17:14:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 30 19:41:43 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 19:42:55 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Mar 11 16:58:02 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 16:59:19 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 03 15:36:40 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 15:37:38 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Dec 07 20:46:39 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 22:42:12 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:56:35 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 19:59:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 17:18:08 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 14:57:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 11:23:18 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 11:25:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 14:47:55 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 05:34:24 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Apr 13 07:47:47 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 06:59:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=254705
