ANIMAL: The Definitive Visual Guide New Edition

Researched and written by a team of 70 academics, this is pure gold as we watch hares leaping, spiders jumping, bright patterns, serrated teeth of the white shark, meet the helmeted iguana, the laughing kookaburra, the penguin family, hoofed mammals, the sun bear and monkeys like the lemurine night monkey and the red bellied titi, boxing kangaroos and filter feeding manta rays. Specialist zoologists, palaeontologists, ecologists and photographers have collaborated for this super heavyweight visual compendium, first time discounted. It looks at the animal kingdom, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates and their habitats, showcasing more than 2,000 incredible species in stunning detail. Unrivalled in its scope and now fully revised and updated, it is an essential home reference and an introduction to evolution, animal anatomy, life cycles, classification and behaviour as well as the impact from habitats lost, climate change and other conservation issues. Each animal species comes with a description, photo, distribution map and statistics and organised into taxa (the groups of related species that scientists use to classify animals). With beautiful coloured detailed maps and striking photography, 632pp, 24 x 28.8cm.
