"The essays, arranged according to the course of the seasons, combine fascinating factual information with the author's, precisely that, wonder at the richness that life on earth contains. Quotations from nature poetry and Hagman's beautiful full-page pictures enrich the factual and at the same time humble text" - editor Johan Brinck in the BTJ booklet No. 13, 2021.
What do the birds want when they sing? Why do shrimp change sex mid-life? How does the night violet know when to smell? Is it true that the shrew's heart can beat more than a thousand beats per minute? And who decides in the anthill? Wonder is a joyful and tender tribute in text and image to what flies, swims, grows, buzzes and smells in the nature around us. 52 short case series, with facts and wonder before the magnificent biological diversity of which we ourselves are a part. And which we must increasingly learn to respect and cherish. Stefan Edman is a biologist and the author of around 50 books about nature and the environment, for example Jordens sång, Planeten Havet and Bråttom but not kört - questions and answers about the climate. He has received the Harry Martinson Jubilee Prize and the King's Medal. Tore Hagman has been working professionally as a nature photographer since 1980. For his photographic activities, he has received a number of scholarships and awards and was the first to be named Nature Photographer of the Year by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
