Encyclopedia of animals : mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians(
Book
)
4 editions published between 1993 and 2002 in English and held by 10 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This encyclopedia presents a wide-ranging survey of four major groups of living things: mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The text is written by a team of international experts in the zoological sciences. As intrinsic as animals are to the ecological balance of our world, animals are under threat from their human admirers, and in dire need of our help. Habitat destruction spells disaster for many species, leaving them teetering on the brink of extinction. Only through greater understanding of the fragile balance that exists between species and their habitats will it become possible for us to ensure the survival of our precious wildlife heritage
