The volume covers:

The biome concept and brief descriptions of vegetation, climate and distribution of the terrestrial and of the range of freshwater and aquatic biomes covered in the set.

Classifying life - how scientists discuss the taxonomic hierarchy and how it has been used to determine how to divide the world into regions based on living organisms.

The ecosystem concept - how this and other major concepts from ecology that are key to understanding biomes.

Terrestrial environments - the various climatic variables and climate types, and a discussion of our changing planet

Aquatic environments and life - how lifeforms and food chains make aquatic environments distinct from terrestrial biomes. Maps, photos, diagrams, drawings, and tables accompany the text, as do sidebars that highlight habitats, species, and ecological relationships.

The volume includes a bibliography of accessible resources for further research."

Recenzii

"For middle and high school students and undergraduates, Woodward, editor of the biomes series and former professor of biogeography and physical geography at Radford U., presents an introduction to biomes. She discusses the concept of the biome and other geographic trends exhibited by life, including taxonomic and evolutionary patterns, related ecological concepts such as ecosystems and soils, and environmental factors that affect the nature of terrestrial and aquatic biomes at the global scale. Use of scientific terminology is minimized."
