The natural history of carnivorous plants -- More than just a meal -- A remarkable discovery -- Attack of the killer plants -- Magnificent carnivores -- Collecting, growing and conserving carnivorous plants.
"Carnivorous plants are a unique group, possessing modified leaves to trap, kill and consume small creatures. As a result they are often depicted as killers in films and literature, yet others regard them as exotic and beautiful specimens to collect and display. In this abundantly illustrated and highly entertaining book, Dan Torre describes the evolution, structure and scientific background of carnivorous plants."--
