Animal Life
A brilliantly illustrated book on animal life by Charlotte Uhlenbroek. One of the most comprehensive book I've seen on wildlife behaviour. In over 500 pages, just about every aspect of animal life is covered, with the 3 main sections ( Animal Kingdom, Animal Anatomy and Animal Behaviour ) subdivided into well managed chapters that cover the most amazing facts about the animal world. A must for any-one interested in the natural world. Hundreds of beautiful photographs help bring this world to life!
