Each essay in this book describes a remarkable instance of symbiotic mutualism: bobtail squid host glow-in-the-dark bacteria behind their eyes so they can camouflage with moonlight on the water; there is a surprisingly erotic encounter between ants and a rove beetle; beavers and willow trees together turn deserts to verdant wetlands; and many more. To read \u003ci\u003eHeld\u003c\/i\u003e is to be reminded of one’s humanity and of our interconnectedness with the world that surrounds us.","brand":"Kathryn Nuernberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48295683096827,"sku":"9781956046472","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781956046472.jpg?v=1772488267","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/held-9781956046472","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
