Exploring Our World

Exploring Our World is an excellent primer for gaining a better understanding of the Earth's ecological zones. In the foreword, Thomas E. Lovejoy of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., stresses the fragile nature of our planet, a place that must be managed more efficiently.

From mountains and seas to tropical forests and oceans, each precious ecosystem is explored comprehensively in charts, diagrams, and photography. Twenty-eight fold-out sections bring each terrain to life--revealing the animals, insects, vegetation, and life cycles.

A handy glossary of terms, beautiful full-color photography, and a very down-to-earth commentary make this the perfect book for the whole family.
