That Bull Is Seeing Red!: Science's Biggest Mistakes about Animals and Plants

Author:

Do bulls get angry when they see the color red? Do plants grow by snacking on soil? Are bats blind? At one time, science supported wild notions like these! But later studies proved these ideas were nonsense. Investigate science's biggest mistakes and oddest assumptions about plants and animals, and see how scientific thought changed over time.
