Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Though people don't often think of plants as needing to defend themselves, this book will illuminate the many ways that plants have developed defense mechanisms through subtle change over time. From prickly cactus spines to color changing and camouflage, varied adaptations of several plant species are covered. The illustrative labeled photos bring this fascinating topic to life and reinforce the concepts readers have learned.

Includes bibliographical references (page 32) and index.

Under attack! -- Spiny cacti -- Barrels of water -- Dining on spines -- Spiny sunshades -- Trees with thorns -- Thorns and stinging ants -- Everyday defenses -- Protecting with poison -- Pretty deadly -- Deadly berries -- Don't mess with us!
