Michael Allaby (Author), Richard Garratt (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 11 and up | Grade Level: 6 and up | Series: Biomes of the Earth

The Ecosystems series is the only source that offers a complete understanding of global ecology. Illustrated with beautiful full-colour photographs, each volume combines the "hard sciences," such as biology and chemistry, with history, economics, and environmental studies. Each ecosystem is presented in its entirety with details on its history, biology, wildlife, beauty, problems, and influence on culture. This interdisciplinary approach emphasizes the complex, interrelated nature of each biome - giving readers the most integrated portrayal of the natural world available. Each volume spans Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, and the Americas to present a particular ecosystem. Coverage offers a basic introduction to ecological concepts and demonstrates how these concepts influence the complex relationship between humans and the environment.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Temperate Forests (Ecosystems (Facts on File)) (Library Binding)

The book "Temperate Forests" by Michael Allaby was a very interesting book. It helped me a lot in learning about temperate forests. I reccomend this book to all kids 11 and older. I wouldn't reccomend this book to a 10 years old though because it isnt the easiest to understand.
