First published in November 2001, 'Animal' was groundbreaking in its visual style. No other guide to the animal kingdom, before or since, has offered such a range and depth of coverage combined with the extraordinary visual impact of thousands of colour illustrations and maps. It has profiles of over 2000 species, contains over 5000 images and was worked on by 70 leading consultants.
DK's 'Animal' gives a truly comprehensive and authoritative account of the world's main animal groups, illuminated and enlivened at every stage by a spectacular range of photographs, artworks, maps, and behavioural sequences. Expertly written text is accompanied at every stage by a lively mix of photographs and artworks. Together with at-a-glance distribution maps, and precise details of size, population and habitat, they create a unique pictorial database of animals and their world. Written in clear, jargon-free language, but with no compromis in quality or detail, 'Animal' is an unbeatable master reference for the 21st Century.
