En el año 2179 no habrá aviones ni automóviles y las personas se querrán un poco más. No existirán las grandes ciudades y se celebrarán muchos días de fiesta. Pero también habrá una sombra sobre tanta felicidad: los bárbaros lucharan para implantar de nuevo su mundo mecanizado. Roberto y Jennifer han averiguado cómo será el siglo XXII. Para ello sólo han tenido que traspasar el Círculo del Tiempo.
Henri Fabre (1823-1915) was a famous explorer yet he seldom left his own backyard. He spent his whole life discovering the secrets of the insect world. His home and its surroundings served as his laboratory, and his lab assistants were his wife and children. The entire family shared his passion for insects, especially his youngest son, Paul. Follow Paul as he assists his famous father uncover the secrets of his "children of summer"-insects. You'll meet the undertaker beetle that buries dead animals; the acorn elephant beetle, whose snout is so long that it must hold it straight out to keep from tripping over it; caterpillars that spin tents and roadways of silk; red ants that kidnap black ant babies and raise them as slaves; dancing scorpions; dung beetles that get their nourishment from animal droppings; male peacock moths that pay homage to their princess but don't eat a single meal as adults; and many other unusual creatures. On the way, you'll get to know a fascinating scientist widely regarded as the father of modern entomology. Through texts drawn from the beautiful written records that Fabre kept of everything he did and saw, and exquisite illustrations done in close, scientific detail, this encharning book reaches far beyond the boundaries of its subject to engage even those who didn't know they were interested in bugs.
