Animals hunt, fish, build, wage war, and even keep livestock of their own. Frederic Houssay surveys the industries of the animal world: methods of defence, provisions stored, dwellings dug, and young reared with cunning. A delightful catalog of nature's engineers and providers. Proof that human industry has ancient rivals underfoot and overhead. Meet the workers, warriors, and homesteaders of the wild.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
