Agosta, W.: Thieves, Deceivers, and Killers: Tales of Chemistry in Nature. |
 | | The fascinating and fast-developing science that encompasses these diverse phenomena is introduced here, by William Agosta, in a series of remarkable stories absolutely accessible to the general reader yet revelatory to chemists and biologists. |
| | Among Agosta's characters are the organisms that steal, counterfeit, or interpret the chemical signals of other species for their own ends. |
| | Agosta also chronicles the rapid development of the applied science that makes use of chemical ecology. |
