Living lights
Charles Frederick Holder and Armand-Lucien Clément
The sea glows, the cave glimmers, the summer field sparks with fireflies. Charles Holder gathers the world's living lights: luminous jellyfish and echinoderms, lamp shells, glowworms, and the lightning-bugs of a June night. A wonder-filled tour of creatures that make their own fire. Follow the cold flames of the living world.
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.
