Industry Reviews

"In the Attenborough style of a long anecdote and a short but pithy conclusion, 'The Living Planet' introduces the larger biolgical communities....A breezy book with gripping color photographs that will entice the reader into more appreciation of how this little sphere got to have so much happening."
