Around the Poles: It seems hard to believe that the coldest places on the planet can support much in the way of life and yet the great variety of living things in the polar oceans and the cold northern tundra are vital parts to the world's ecology. This book shows the plants and animals that live in this harsh environment and how they have adapted to survive.
Mountain environments can be rich and varied, from the lush vegetation of the lower slopes to the cold, hard peaks of the highest mountains. This book looks at the plants and animals that have made their homes in mountain environments and how they have adapted to live there and with each other.
Tropical Rainforests: Tropical rainforests are home to a rich variety of life and this book shows where these environments are and explains why they have special importance. Every living thing, from the bacteria around the great trees' roots to the dazzling diversity of life in the canopy and, of course, the trees themselves, has an important role in the forest's survival.
The cold, evergreen forests of the north make up the world's largest biome. This book shows the bears, wolves, moose and other animals and plants that live there and explains how they have adapted to survive in these sometimes harsh areas.
