BEES: THEIR VISION, CHEMICAL SENSES, AND LANGUAGE
Book ID/图书代码： 03360014B74278
English Summary/英文概要： Over half a century of brilliant scientific detective work, the Nobel Prize-winning biologist Karl von Frisch learned how the world, looks, smells, and tastes to a bee. More significantly, he discovered their dance language and their ability to use the sun as a compass. Intended to serve as an accessible introduction to one of the most fascinating areas of biology, Bees (first published in 1950 and revised in 1971), reported the startling results of his ingenious and revolutionary experiments with honeybees.
In his revisions, von Frisch updated his discussion about the phylogenetic origin of the language of bees and also demonstrated that their color sense is greater than had been thought previously. He also took into consideration the electrophysiological experiments and electromicroscopic observations that have supplied more information on how the bee analyzes polarized light to orient itself and how the olfactory organs on the bee’s antennae function.
Now back in print after more than two decades, this classic and still-accurate account of the behavior patterns and sensory capacities of the honeybee remains a book "written with a simplicity, directness, and charm which all who know him will recognize as characteristic of its author. Any intelligent reader, without scientific training, can enjoy it." Yale Review"(less)
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 经过50多年的科学研究，诺贝尔生物学奖获得者卡尔•冯•费里希掌握了蜜蜂的感官世界。更重要的是，他发现了蜜蜂的舞蹈语言以及利用太阳做指南针的本领。《蜜蜂》于1950年首次出版，于1971年再版，探索了生物界中这个奇妙的领域。卡尔在书中也提到了自己对于蜂蜜革命性的研究成果。在再版书籍中，卡尔更新了自己以往对蜜蜂舞蹈的认知并提出蜜蜂对于颜色的辨别也比人们以往认为的要更加出色。卡尔还利用电生理学实验来探索蜜蜂是如何通过偏振光来辨别方向并用触角做导航的。20年的再次出版，作者以简洁，直接的语言使得不具备科学专业知识的读者也能走进蜜蜂的神奇世界。（XAT）
