Introduction to North American Biomes

Most people, when asked where they live, respond with a state, city, or street address. But how many of us know our ecological address? Introduction to North American Biomes, the first title in the eight-volume series North American Biomes, gives a thorough overview that profiles each major biome's characteristics (forests, grasslands, deserts, seashore, rivers and streams, and wetlands), including plants, animals, physical features, history, and interdependence both within and between biomes. Combining excellent nature photography, maps, and statistics, this opening volume provides a solid context for viewing the other seven titles (series price: $399.95) that provide more depth on their respective subjects: Forests, Grasslands, Deserts, Seashore, Rivers and Streams, Wetlands, and Conserving North American Biomes.
