Produced in conjunction with the American Museum of Natural History, and written by specialists there and at other institutions, this fact-filled volume systematically presents the wonders of the animal world, from insects through whales, with separate, detailed sections on habitat, senses, defense, communication, intelligence, and the physical parts of all the animal groups. Typical for this publisher, the book is heavily illustrated and beautifully produced, with a wealth of superb color photos interspersed with detailed captions and text filling each page. Published in an oversized format (10x12.25"), the volume provides a great introduction to the science of animals and their behavior for young adults and the general reader.
