"Dr. Christopher McGowan takes the reader on a guided tour of predator-prey relationships through the very different but often overlapping worlds of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, plants, insects, and microorganisms, as well as the fossilized record of the dinosaurs. We learn, in every instance, not only the intricacies of interdependence in the vast chain of being but also the astonishing adaptability that is inherent in nature, whether the drama be played out on the African plains, in the depths of the ocean, or in the familiar confines of our own backyard."--Jacket.
