Other editions of book Shrublands

Each book in this series provides readers with a deeper understanding of the world's biological communities, with each title focusing on a particular biome, biome type, groups of biomes or system. The books contain an introduction to the Earth's principal biomes with enough depth for project work. The atlas approach gives the series a relevance to the geography curriculum.

The introductory pages of this book describe the biomes of the world and then the shrubland biome. The 5 main chapters look at different aspects of shrublands: climate, plants, animals, people, and future. Between the chapters are detailed maps that focus on major shrubland regions. Throughout the book you'll also find boxed stories or fact files about shrublands. At the end of the book is a glossary.
