A beautiful guide to Earth's wildlife and natural history, including its rocks, minerals, animals, plants, fungi, microorganisms and more!

Introducing The Natural History Book – a complete guide to the nature and wildlife of our world and written by a worldwide team of natural history experts. In the 11 years since the book was originally 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 has since been updated to include dynamic discoveries such as the olinguito (the "kitty bear" of the Andean cloud forest), and a new species of deep-sea Bolosoma glass sponge photographed by the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, alongside a reorganization of the groups of living things to reflect the latest scientific understanding. 

Explore each and every page of this stunning nature book to discover: 

- A full-color gallery of over 5,000 species
- Over 500 rocks, minerals and fossils are featured throughout
- Includes a glossary of important natural history terms 
- Specially-commissioned photographs showcase wildlife in close-up detail
