Great guide and visuals to Earth's fascinating creatures. Doesn't chronicle every single specimen ever known- but this encyclopedia can serve as good reference material- be it a quick lookup or to study. The physical book could easily double as a ship's anchor because it so massive and heavy.
Fantastic one volume compendium of animal life, informative and beautifully illustrated.
Fabulous reference book, good overview of most animals. Gorgeous photos.
Every beastie you care to think of. Splendid illustrations, and the text is a good introduction too.
Excellent reference book regarding the world's wildlife. Short notes on the various species with longer notes regarding habitats, and an overall view of the animal species.
En väldigt fin uppslagsbok om djur. Man kan ibörjan av boken läsa om klassifikation, systematik och habitat mm.
De olika djuren redovisas oftast i fotografier men vissa avbildas i välgjorda teckningar. Texten är kortfattad men informativ. Boken är utmärkt om man vill kunna slå upp vitt skilda djur i en och samma bok.
