Synopsis
We humans have a word for the feeling, whether actual or imagined, that creepy invertebrates are crawling over our skin. That word is formication, and the implied sense of horror and fascination, contends Richard Conniff, is something many of us actually crave. His Spineless Wonders presents an unabashed wallow in the joy of formication. Spineless Wonders is an engaging, sophisticated, and humorous mix of natural history and human lore. Through his journalistic assignments, Richard Conniff has been in contact with invertebrates for more than twenty years - tarantulas in the upper Amazon region, dragonflies in Arizona, squid in Florida, and flies on the rim of his beer glass. Discoveries about the extraordinary habits and idiosyncrasies of the moth, the leech, the ant, and the slime eel are opening new frontiers in the exploration of our natural universe. Spineless Wonders takes us directly to these wild and wonderful outposts to observe the hazards of being around invertebrates, the bizarre adaptions that enable them to survive in the world, and also the astonishing work they do - work that enables us to survive., Natural history writer Richard Conniff's journalistic assignments have brought him in contact with invertebrates for more than 20 years--tarantulas of the upper Amazon, dragonflies in Arizona, squid in Florida, and flies on the rim of his beer glass. Here Conniff details his often hilarious encounters with the highly intelligent and eccentric people who study these creatures. 16 line drawings.

    Immediate payment and timely seller order processing and hand-off to USPS for shipping. A poly bubble envelope and then internal, multiple layers of bubble wrap protected the CD’s jewel case during USPS handle/ship/delivery processes. The item condition rating for the CD/booklet/inlay/jewel case condition was exactly as described. Recommend seller.

    I can finally save my Dreamcast games! Vmu was packaged very well, and it arrived quickly. As described and extremely clean, which I appreciate. Vmu tends to reset the date when not attached to the controller, but still saves data perfectly. Great price for this item. Highly recommended seller!
