Introducing Act of Love, the world’s only visual dictionary of animal courtship behaviors. Sometimes comical, sometimes bittersweet, the courtship behaviors of the 73 animals in this book not only give us a glimpse into the secrets of the natural world but also reminds us that we as human beings are animals, too. Production was supervised by Keisuke Ueda, Professor of Life Science at Rikkyo University and authority in behavioral ecology and ornithology; Teruyuki Komiya, former director of the Ueno Zoo; and Masato Obuchi, a science communicator. With the help of world-renowned photographers, NHK, and the BBC, this dictionary is multi-faceted and visually stunning.
