EXCERPT



Amongst the animal species that we encounter in everyday life, there are some that can give us an unpleasant shock or even endanger our health. For most people, a bee sting is an unwelcome experience, causing short-term pain and swelling. But if you are allergic to bee venom, the sting can be fatal without medical help. The same applies to the stings of other insects, especially wasps

ABOUT THE AUTHORS




Ivan Esenko presents the world of nature and invites the reader to learn more about the world that we are part of. His camera is his most faithful companion and its lens particularly likes to 'capture' those animals that live in close quarters to man. We take them so much for granted that we no longer seem to care for them. Ivan is their voice, he has become their 'personal' photographer.


David Withrington from Britain has spent most of his professional life working for the official agency, Natural England, where he was initially Author/Editor and latterly Senior Freshwater Adviser. He has a particular interest in birds and butterflies. He has many contacts across Europe through his voluntary work for youth and environmental conservation, including friends in Slovenia, a country which he has visited 34 times.



ABOUT THE PUBLISHER



OkaSi is a Slovenian publisher with a vibrant programme.

At every turn, nature reveals its new face and discloses a myriad of secrets. This is why we have devoted a special place to it in our publishing house. We are the creators of books that delight curious children and their parents in their discoveries of nature: in the home garden and the nearby park, but also further afield, in the fields and forests.

At OkaSi we keep pace with the times which is why have embarked upon several electronic editions of our books. We have added sound to these publications and hence a new dimension to the contents already there.
