{"product_id":"scorpions-of-south-africa","title":"Scorpions of South Africa","description":"Scorpions, often misunderstood and persecuted, have captured the imagination of humans from early times, but only recently have we begun to understand their complex behavior and biology. Some 60 southern African species are discussed here, including those most likely to be encountered. The book examines their anatomy and behavior, survival strategies in harsh conditions, their use of venom and their successful existence over millions of years. Clear images and distribution maps further inform about southern Africa’s rich scorpion fauna, indicating where to look for them and how best to handle them.\n\nTable of Contents\n\nAuthor’s note 4\nAcknowledgements 5\nIntroduction 6\nThe scorpion body 16\nScorpion behaviour 26\nMating and reproduction 36\nIdentification 42\nSouthern African species 58\nLiving with scorpions 96\nGlossary 100\nBibliography 101\nIndex 102\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1775846520\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1775846520.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leeming, Jonathan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
