Summary:

"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, Natural History 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 book to offer a complete visual survey of all kingdoms of life, remains the benchmark of illustrated natural history references"-- Provided by publisher.
"La obra de referencia imprescindible para los amantes del mundo natural, con información actualizada sobre las nuevas especies y los cambíos taxonómicos más recientes, y una impresionante galería fotográfica que ilustra en detalle más de 6000 minerales, rocas, fósiles y especies del mundo animal y vegetal."-- Provided by publisher.
