DESCRIPTION |
|
This beautifully illustrated book in four volumes, enriched with 1210 photographs, both b&W and colour, presents an interesting description of all the living animals of the worldbeasts, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, amphibians and mollusks. Besides tracing their natural history, it describes their habits and habitats, their sizes, shapes and varieties. The photographs have been obtained from every part of the world, many of them from the most distant islands of the Southern ocean, the great barrier reef of Australia, the New Zealand hills, the Indian jungle, the South African veldt and the rivers of British Columbia. Photographs of swimming fish, the flying bird and of leaping salmon are reproduced as accurately as those of the large carnivora or the giant ungulates. |
