The Life of the Scorpion
Jean-Henri Fabre and Bernard Miall
The Languedocian scorpion lives alone in a stony burrow, carries a poison Fabre tested with care, and its young ride immune upon its back. Jean-Henri Fabre studies its dwelling, food, venom, and courtship with fearless patience. Precise, surprising, and free of superstition. The master entomologist demystifies one of nature's most feared creatures. Meet the scorpion as it really lives, sting and all.
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.
