Discover the answers to all these questions and many more in The Animal Atlas. Learn where in the world different animal species are found; what kind of habitats they live in; what they eat; and how they find their mates. The Animal Atlas is packed with beautiful, life-like depictions of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects.
Each species is carefully hand-drawn to show details of fur, feathers, or scales while accompanying captions reveal fascinating facts about the animal's behavior.
This lavishly illustrated nature book explores the different continents and countries of the world, with helpful information on geography, climate, and vegetation. It travels through different biomes, such as forests, deserts, and lakes; and through specific regions, from the Everglades to the Galapagos, the Himalayas, and Great Barrier Reef.
First published in , this atlas has been updated for the edition and is a beautiful gift for a new generation of zoologists. Beginning in each vol. Contour lines, upgraded point of interest and trail information enhance navigation so you can get to the best spots with ease!
At a scale of , this atlas is zoomed in several times further on its area of coverage than competing printed maps. With crisp aerial imagery, this is one of the most engaging and informative atlases available. Who will be first to uncover the dark secrets of Britain's interplanetary colonisation programme? Can they decipher it in time to illegally establish Britain's presence in the Proxima system?
Atlas Nations military veteran Donald Stafford intends to protect his planet from a British incursion but first, he must face up to the sins of his past and broker an uneasy alliance with old foes. And, as a serial killer stalks the streets of London, rookie journalist Washington Parker puts his life on the line to expose the unthinkable truths of the corrupt British government and their secretive colonisation programme.
If you love near-future dystopian science fiction and space opera, immerse yourself in the worlds of the Atlas Nations series today.

The book explores the current effects climate change has had on Arctic environments and ecosystems, our current understanding of the effects climate change is having, the effects climate change is having on the atmospheric and ocean processes in this region.
The Arctic region is predicted to experience the earliest and most pronounced global warming response to human-induced climatic change, thus a better understanding is vital. Author : K. Soils and sediments influence current processes, preserve evidence of past processes, indicate evolutionary phases in landscapes and provide a basis for relative and absolute chronologies.
They provide an important key to the integration of short-term process studies and investigation of longer-term landform evolution. This book, first published in , has been arranged to provide wide temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales.
The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists, hydrologists and geomorphologists. Author : H. The Great Sand Sea in Egypt presents the history of one of the large sand seas in the Sahara, beginning with the sand supply by fluvial transport from partly distant areas and also by local sandstone weathering. It also details sand as carrier of information and shows the possibilities of sedimentary analysis in dealing with such a topic.
Simple measurements may supply important information e. Well known methods can be developed further to answer special questions. A wealth of information can be drawn from especially adapted sedimentological investigations. In the end, bits of information from different analytical sources can be put together to reveal the history of a large sand sea. It is more than half a century since the publication of R.
