A comprehensive atlas that looks at different habitats round the world, and the relationships between animals and their environments. There are sections on tropical grasslands, tropical rainforests, deserts, temperate woodlands, temperate grasslands, taiga and tundra, wetlands, mountains and polar regions, and animal classification. Farnon celebrates the variety of life, and provides an overview, describing animal behaviour and the survival strategies adopted, migration, seasonal change, adaptation and the complex web of inter-relationships between animals. More than 1,000 animals are featured. We are warned that more and more species fall victim to ‘rampaging human activity’. Over 11,800 species are at serious risk. Farnon believes, ‘The more we know and understand the reasons for the massacre, the better equipped we will be to prevent it.’ A detailed introduction to wildlife that will inform and inspire KS2 children, with over 500 illustrations, eye-catching photos, maps and plenty of facts.
