Over 1,100 colour photographs illustrate this fascinating account of the world's eleven major habitats and their incredibly varied plant and animal life. Indexed.
The Living World is an account of the earth's major habitat types, each of which is described in terms of its climate and vegetation, with a brief explanation of its natural formation and later modification at the hands of man.
The main thrust of the book, however, concerns the characteristic animals of each habitat and the physical and biochemical adaptations which enable them to survive in the freezing polar regions, the scorching deserts or the fathomless depths of the oceans.
Man is by no means left out of the picture, as he is among the most widespread of all the world's creatures - the least specialised and the most adaptable.
Please Note: Because of the large size of the book, $5 has been included in the normal price to help cover the additional packaging and posting cost.
