The biomes covered include the tundra habitats, the taiga and temperate forests, grasslands of the prairies and the tropical savanna, deserts of the world, tropical forests of the equatorial regions, wetlands of the world, vast oceans, rivers and lakes, and a manmade biome—agricultural and urban areas. Item #0816053197 List price: $395.00  Discounted price: $335.75  Click for details   Agricultural and Urban Areas The ecosystems that arise from the development of agricultural and urban areas are diverse because they exist in different areas throughout the world, from New York to New Delhi. Urban and agricultural planning requires consideration of the impact the change in environment will have on existing conditions. Item #081605326X List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Deserts Life in the desert holds a range of biological adaptations. From camels to desert scorpions to snakes, the biodiversity of these areas is fascinating. Deserts presents the intricacies of this seemingly barren and harsh ecosystem, explaining how and why deserts form, where they are found on Earth, and their basic characteristics.

The grasslands include prairies, steppes, pampas, savanna, tropical grasslands of South America, Australian grasslands, and upland grasslands. Presenting the geography, geology, climates, and history of grasslands, this volume offers a basic introduction to their development and function. Item #0816053235 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Lakes and Rivers The geography and geology of lakes and rivers is a fascinating subject. From plankton to larger fishes and wildlife, rivers and lakes are rich with biodiversity. Item #0816053286 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Oceans The oceans are teeming with life of all kinds. Changing sea levels, plate tectonics, chemical cycling, sedimentation, and the atmosphere greatly impact these habitats. The ocean's currents and sea level are tied closely to weather patterns and in turn to such issues as global warming and El Niño. Item #0816053278 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Taiga Taiga is a biome of the Northern Hemisphere, between tundra to the north and broad-leaved forest and temperate grassland to the south. Taiga includes dense forest, open forest, and jigsaw puzzles of forests, wetlands, and lakes that can be found in northwestern and northeastern America, northern Europe, Siberia, and East Asia. Item #0816053294 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Temperate Forests Climate plays a major role in the existence of temperate forests. These areas experience seasonal changes and sometimes extreme weather patterns. Temperate Forests explores the environment, life, and future of this type of habitat in a concise, accessible format Item #0816053219 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Tropical Forests There are many different types of tropical forests—lowland wet forests, seasonal forests, cloud forests, bamboo forests, mangrove forests, and monsoon forests. The biodiversity in these areas is incredibly eclectic. Item #0816053227 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Tundra The geography and geology of tundra habitats have many physical and climatic constraints. Yet while biodiversity is low, ecosystems still exist in this environment. Much of the megafauna that we are familiar with—such as wooly mammoths and giant elk—inhabited tundra environments, and much of what we know of early human activity took place in this harsh ecosystem. Item #0816053251 List price: $39.50  Discounted price: $35.55  Click for details   Wetlands Where do wetland habitats occur on the planet? What factors control their distribution? What threats impact these areas, and how much conservation effort is necessary? In a clear and concise format, Wetlands explores the answers to these questions and much more.
