『英文書』Great Migrations: Whales, Wildebeests, Butterflies, Elephants, and Other Amazing Animals on the Move (National Geographic Kids) [Hardcover]美国国家地理.野生动物
Great herds of zebra thundering across the African
plain…fragile butterflies traveling unbelievable distances…family
groups of whales coursing through the waves. Many kinds of animals
make annual migrations, and their stories reveal incredible
strength and will to survive. These treks are magnificently
documented in Great Migrations, the children’s illustrated
companion to the upcoming 7-hour National Geographic television
special of the same name.
Created for the huge audience of young animal lovers—and for the
nation’s schools, where migration is taught as part of the core
curriculum—this book spotlights wild creatures of highest interest
to children. Action-filled photo spreads deliver immense "wow"
appeal as animals vault over obstacles and escape the clutches of
predators. Info-graphic spreads pack in the fascinating facts, with
at-a-glance information on where, why, and how animals
migrate.
Throughout the coverage, this timely book addresses the effect of
climate change on animal migration—a story that is just now
reaching the public, from scientists and other experts who have
witnessed alarming trends.
