{"product_id":"the-smaller-majority","title":"The Smaller Majority","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmaller  on average  than a human finger  creatures climbing  scampering  and flying out of sight make up 99 percent of all animal life visible to the naked eye. This is the \"smaller majority\" that we meet eye-to-eye  often for the first time and certainly as never before  in Piotr Naskreckis spectacular book. A large-format volume of over 400 exquisite  full-color photographs  some depicting animals never before captured with a camera  The Smaller Majority takes us on a visual journey into the remote world of organisms that  however little known  overlooked  or even reviled  are critical to the biodiversity of the tropics  and to the life of our planet. Here are the species who truly dominate the tropics  both in terms of their diversity and the ecological functions they play--invertebrates such as insects  arachnids  or flatworms  but also little-known vertebrates such as the pygmy chameleons of Madagascar or legless  underground frog kin known as caecilians; here is behavior never before documented  as in katydids preying upon one another  photographed in places few have visited. Using pioneering camera techniques that allow us to see the world of these creatures from their point of view  the book exposes the environment in which they live  the threats they face  and the devastating impact their disappearance may have. A unique introduction to the marvelous variety of the overlooked life under our feet  Naskreckis book returns us to a childs sense of wonder with a fully informed  deeply felt understanding of the importance of so much of the worlds smaller  teeming life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964383653941,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674019156","price":32.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674019157.jpg?v=1770459242","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-smaller-majority","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
