This series examines the diversity of our world, looking at human and physical geography as well as natural history. The series is designed to provide background reading for GCSE studies and Standard Grade in Scotland. This book looks at the physical geography and plant and animal life of the world's temperate forests. It answers questions such as how long ago were the temperate forests formed? In which regions of the world are they? What is ecological succession? The book then goes on to discuss issues such as pollution and conservation. Dr Basil Booth has led expeditions to 32 different countries and 18 islands, and has written over 60 books and research papers.
