The Seventy Great Mysteries of the Natural World

Edited by Michael J. Benton and continuing the success of their best-selling ‘˜Seventy’™ series, Thames and Hudson’™s Seventy Great Mysteries of the Natural World is a visually stunning and highly topical book that is an essential guide to those vital environmental issues that concern us all. With the onset of climate change, never before has the need to understand our planet and the life that lives upon it seemed more crucial. Almost daily we are experiencing significant changes in the environment and natural world around us and in this volume we are led to examine exactly what we do know about the functioning of life on our planet today. The volume`s seven sections explore the origins of our planet and of our life, the inner and outer workings of the Earth, the concept and evidence for evolution, biogeography and environments, planets and animals, animal behaviour and the future. We journey from the core of the earth to the top of Mount Everest, from the microbes living without oxygen in the deepest oceans to the remarkable ways in which bees communicate. Visually stunning and highly topical, The Seventy Great Mysteries of the World is of the utmost relevance to the future of our species and of our planet.
