Description

The Living World, illustrated with over 1,100 full-color photographs, is an account of the Earth's eleven 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 humankind. The main thrust of the book concerns the characteristic animals of each habitat, and the physical and biochemical adaptations that enable them to survive in the extremes of freezing polar regions, show more scorching deserts, or fathomless depths of the oceans. show less
