From the publisher:
In the same lighthearted yet scientifically accurate style of Fylling's Illustrated Guide to Pacific Coast Tide Pools, this portable guidebook reveals the splendidly strange animals and plants just outside your door. Marni Fylling's full-color illustrations make species identification a snap, and concise descriptions include fascinating (and sometimes grotesque) factoids about frequently encountered plants, insects, arachnids, birds and mammals.
With Fylling's guidance, the everyday becomes extraordinary: Pigeons share nest-building and egg-sitting duties, and they mate for life (with occasional dalliances); squirrel teeth grow about 6 inches per year; spiders owe their characteristic creep to their "hydraulic" legs; poison oak and poison ivy's itch-inducing oil is also found in pistachios, cashews and mangoes; and much, much more.
