From the dust jacket:
Here is life in all its forms from the simplest one-celled creature to man -
Plants and the origin of life
The evolution of animals
Animals with backbones
Children can explore a world of plant and animal life: primitive plants to vineyards; fossils to nature reserves; fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. There is a clear and up-to-date explanation of life itself-how it begins and develops.
The subject matter is incredibly varied, dealing with all aspects of life, and yet the coverage is comprehensive enough to make Nature a valuable and reliable work of reference.
Like all the other volumes in Collins Children's Encyclopedia series, each page is alive with colour to attract and invite young people to read, and read on.
The general editor is Kenneth Bailey who has for many years specialised in books for children. He brings all his talents as a writer and compiler to this series which has the widest possible appeal for all young people of today.
