Summer’s ecological questions

Bernd Heinrich uses seasonal questions to examine how plants and animals respond to heat, migration, and the conditions of their habitats. Cicadas facing extreme temperatures, hummingbirds crossing the Gulf of Mexico, and trees that stop growing while warm weather remains are among the examples named in the description. Together, they frame summer as a period of varied biological challenges and adaptations, while connecting local habitat relationships to the broader subject of a warming earth.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in natural history and seasonal ecology
  • Those curious about animal behavior, plant growth, and habitat
  • Readers exploring how living things respond to warming conditions

Book overview

How can cicadas survive--and thrive--at temperatures pushing 115 F? Do hummingbirds know what they're up against before they migrate over the Gulf of Mexico? Why do some trees stop growing taller even when three months of warm weather remain? With awe and unmatched expertise, Bernd Heinrich's Summer World never stops exploring the beautifully complex interactions of animals and plants with nature, giving extraordinary depth to the relationships between habitat and the warming of the earth.
