The Kingfisher Young People's Book of Living Worlds

This new title in an award-winning series celebrates the incredible diversity of the natural world and brings to life the complex relationships between different species and their environment. Rich, full-color images accompany the text that describes all the major habitats and eco-systems, including deserts, oceans, the tundra and polar regions, forest, grasslands, and even cities. The full gamut of life is covered, from the unusual communities that thrive around undersea volcanic vents to growing human populations and their impact on the delicate balance of both natural and man-made environments.
