Produced in association with the Natural History Museum this authoritative new reference book surveys the varied land and marine habitats throughout the world and provides fascinating insights into how living things evolve grow reproduce feed and defend themselves.Magnificent new photographyRichly illustrated with dramatic new photography the DK Nature Encyclopedia brings the natural world vividly to life on the page. Specially commissioned photographs reveal the lifestyles anatomy and behaviour of plants and animals from all over the world while action sequences show with startling clarity how a bush baby leaps through the air the way a jellyfish propels itself through the water and how a chameleon catches its insect prey.Essential reference for home and schoolClearly organised into thematic sections the book covers a wide range of topics from reproduction and movement to photosynthesis and communication. It explores each major plant and animal group - including flowering plants birds reptiles insects fish and mammals - and reveals how living things struggle to survive in the world's most inhospitable habitats. A reference section which includes a classification chart an extensive index and a glossary of scientific terms completes this colourful and informative guide.
