Bücher von Ross Piper

This single volume describes the animals that are most injurious and costly to humans, examining the important roles of these pests throughout history and the implications of the never-ending wars we wage against the natural world.

Portrays over 60 remarkable animals that have been lost forever during the relatively recent geological past. This book discusses the history of the animals - how and where they lived, and how they became extinct - as well as the scientific discovery and analysis of the creature.

Explores the animal species who possess strange adaptations that allow them to survive in the most extreme environments. This encyclopedia includes a description of the animal, an explanation of its odd behaviour, other scientific facts, and illustrations. It also includes a Go Look section to look for the animals in the outside world.
