Summary:
"A landmark exploration of
how
colour works in the natural
world
- colour as disguise, as seduction, and as an expression of power - to accompany a new BBC/Netflix series with David Attenborough. Beauty is more than skin deep. In nature, colour is more than a source of beauty; it's a form of vital communication. Depending on the situation, colour says different things - it can be an expression of power or seduction, warning or deceit - and it can even, occasionally, save your life. Accompanying a major new BBC series with David Attenborough, 'Life in Colour' explores the fascinating story of
how
colour works in the natural
world
. From the 'trichromatic' vision of Silver Leaf Langurs, which allows them to
see
orange and red against forest foliage - the colours not only of ripe fruit, but of their young - to damselfish who detect intruders based on UV face patterns, Martin Stevens reveals a complex system of messaging visible only to those who know the code. Based on the latest scientific research in the field, and illustrated with stunning photography throughout, 'Life in Colour' reveals a
world
previously unknown to us."--Jacket.
