Diane Ackerman's lusciously written grand tour of the realm of the senses includes conversations with an iceberg in Antarctica and a professional nose in New York, along with dissertations on kisses and tattoos, sadistic cuisine and the music played by the planet Earth. “Delightful . . . gives the reader the richest possible feeling of the worlds the senses take in.” —The New York Times

A monumental and beautiful guide to Earth's wildlife and natural history--its rocks, minerals, animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms--this landmark of reference publishing has been extended and updated. In the 11 years since this book was released, thousands of new species have been identified, and new revelations have redrawn the tree of life. Already featuring galleries of more than 5,000 species, The Natural History Book now includes discoveries such as the olinguito (the "kitty bear" of the Andean cloud forest) and the painted mannakin of Peru. It takes advantage of the first living observations of the giant squid and the deep-sea anglerfish. And it has reorganized the groups of living things to reflect the latest scientific understanding. All this ensures that this, the only ebook to offer a complete visual survey of all kingdoms of life, remains the benchmark of illustrated natural history references. Written by a worldwide team of natural history experts, The Natural History Book is the perfect addition to every family bookshelf, as well as an ideal gift for any nature lover. From granites to grapevines, from microbes to mammals, The Natural History Book is the ultimate celebration of the diversity of the natural world.

Excerpt from Chapters in Popular Natural History: Arranged as an Advanced Reading Book for Use in Elementary and Higher Schools The National Society has done me the honour to propose to republish parts of some of my Natural History Lectures adapted as a Reading Book. Those who may wish to pursue the subjects further, I would refer to my "Origin and Metamorphoses of Insects" (Macmillan and Co.), "British Wild Flowers, &c.(Macmillan and Co.), "Scientific Lectures" (Macmillan and Co.), and "Ants, Bees, and Wasps" (Paul, Trench, and Co.). I am greatly indebted to my publishers for their courtesy in allowing me to reprint here part of the above-mentioned works. I have also to thank Messrs. Paul, Trench, and Co., Messrs. Macmillan and Co., Messrs. Cassell and Co., and Messrs. Lovel Reeve and Co., for the use of various illustrations, which they have been so good as to place at my disposal.
