Silent, hungry killers lurk all over the world. Few would suspect, by looking at them, that they are waiting to ambush their next meal. These hungry hunters are not animals. They are plants. This book looks at how plants become predators; how they lure, capture and kill prey; and how some creatures, especially man, pose a threat to their existence.
