What's The Point Of A Slug?

What exactly is the point of a slug? This book looks into this question and finds out there is a lot more to a slug than you think. Are they a garden pest eating your favourite plants, chomping through strawberries before they are ripe, or completely destroying your soon to be prize winning marrow? Or are they a much misunderstood friend of the gardener helping clearing away dead leaves and recycling nutrients into the soil? Packed with humorous illustrations this book looks into the life of a slug, it's long history from the beginning of life on land, and how they saved lives in the trenches of World War I. Slugs have long been used by doctors as a treatment for many ills, but this books discoverers that they have many more uses and finally answers with the question that everyone must have wondered at some point - has a slug ever been into space? This book is for anyone who likes to take a sideways look at the familiar and will make you laugh and maybe think again at the wildlife that lives around us.
