Animal anatomy, life-cycles and the principals of classification are also explored, and the main part of the book looks in detail at each major group and provides absorbing profiles of over 2,000 individual species. Spectacular photographic portraits bring a vast array of animals vividly to life, with special features on well-known and important creatures such as the Galapagos tortoise. Each species profile is supported by maps and symbols showing distribution and habitat, as well as key information on size, reproduction, and conservation status, forming an invaluable reference database.

This is not only an excellent reference book, it is also a beautifully presented tome...
