Animal: The Definitive Visual Guide to the World's Wildlife

Stunning photographs will elevate this book beyond a coffee-table or reference shelf existence. Every aspect of the book seizes attention. The first 80 pages clarify information on classification, habitats and behavior with charts, maps, photographs and illustrations. The remaining six chapters focus on numerous specific species and subspecies, divided into broad groups: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. The editors provide endangered-species information at the end of each chapter.  10.02"l. x 8.42"w. x 1.32"h.; Paperback; 624 pages
