Years in the making, this atlas is a goldmine of information about the members of the animal kingdom--the rare, the common, the exotic, the unusual. Its scope includes mountains and tundras, deserts and oceans, rain forests and icecaps, profiling the co-inhibitors of our planet and demonstrating how fascinating each of them in its own right. In the process, a host of little-known facts are brought to light -- and almost as many myths are exploded. Dr. Jordan writes in an interesting, conversational manner which is designed to appeal to the casual reader in general and the animal lover in particular. His text is supplemented by 182 full-color illustrations checked for accuracy by Sydney Anderson, Ph. D., Associate Curator, American Museum of Natural History. There are , in addition, distribution maps in color, showing the range of the species under discussion; climate and vegetation maps; a geologic time chart of all orders; an article by the author on the world's major wildlife areas, with accompanying map; a zoological breakdown of the orders of mammals and an alphabetical index.
