Industry Reviews
"Welcome to the world of chemical signals, of warfare and cooperation among and between plant and animal species. The author provides the kind of astonishing 'Wow, I didn't know that' detail to information that otherwise might seem dull. This is the kind of book that would make a great 'basic' text for a science class; it has the perfect balance of science fact, big words, and the all-important 'Cool! Gross!' factor."
Bloomsbury Review - Patricia J. Wagner

Many plants and animals rely on the transmission and reception of chemicals to defend and survive: here Agosta examines the chemical interplay between hunters and the hunted in the natural world, presenting lively chapters which examine everything from medicinal plants to how animals use their own version of chemical warfare.
