Spiders transform into bark, jaguars become invisible against the forest floor and a crab disguises itself with pieces gleaned from its ocean home in this guide to animal camouflage masters, written by science author Steve Parker (A Short History of Medicine). Organized by global region, the entry for each animal subject gives a few vital statistics before diving into the fascinating specifics of its particular method of concealment. Awe-inspiring photographs show the creatures' adaptations in action, including bodies that mimic leaves and bark, like the satanic leaf gecko does; patterns that lose themselves in light and shadow, like that of the largemouth bass; and the memorable, self-explanatory bird-dropping caterpillar. Adult nature lovers will want to disappear into this spellbinding menagerie, as will budding enthusiasts aged 12 and up. --Jaclyn Fulwood, blogger at Infinite Reads
