The Encyclopedia of Animals: A Complete Visual Guide Full Description
From the Publisher: This illustrated visual reference book is an authoritative survey of the world of animals. The first section is an overview of animal evolution, classification, biology, behavior, habitats, and adaptations. Special attention is paid to current conservation issues. At the core of the book is an encyclopedic survey of all the animal groups - mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and invertebrates. A gallery of more than 2,000 species illustrations conveys the variety and wonder of the animal kingdom. These are supported by hundreds of detailed explanatory diagrams, distributions maps, and color photographs. Vulnerable and endangered species are clearly marked, and many are discussed in detail. Feature panels and pages focus on unusual or intriguing aspects of animal behavior. The text is completely up-to-the-minute, with the latest scientific findings and the most recent classification and conservation information. Synopsis Written for the popular reader, this ambitious encyclopedia provides detailed information about the animal kingdom using short descriptions alongside copious photos and drawings. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and invertebrates are featured in turn, with the mammals receiving the lion's share of the space. An initial section is devoted to essays on characteristics and issues shared among animals, including classification, evolution, biology and behavior, habitat and adaptation, an d animals in danger. The drawings are particularly notable, filling the book with a wide array of species, displayed in two-page groupings. Boxes with fact files are included with the drawings which contain information on individual species, a distribution map, and statistics about the species' size, weight, habits, status, and preferred habitat. The essays and short descriptions were written by senior scientists in the UK, Australia, Brazil, and the US. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
