Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth by Nicola Davies

Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth by Nicola Davies

After magnifying the beauty of unseen organisms in Tiny Creatures, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton turn their talents to the vast variety of life on Earth.

The more we study the world around us, the more living things we discover every day. The planet is full of millions of species of plants, birds, animals, and microbes, and every single one -- including us -- is part of a big, beautiful, complicated pattern. When humans interfere with parts of the pattern, by polluting the air and oceans, taking too much from the sea, and cutting down too many forests, animals and plants begin to disappear. What sort of world would it be if it went from having many types of living things to having just one? In a beautiful follow-up, the creators of the award-winning Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes deliver an inspiring look at the extraordinary diversity of Earth's inhabitants -- and the importance of their preservation.

Nicola Davies lives in Devon, UK, and works as a writer, zoologist, and television presenter. She began her career studying geese and humpback whales before moving on to the BBC's The Really Wild Show as a researcher and broadcaster. She's published numerous children's books since then, covering topics ranging from human biology to blue whales and turtles to bats, owls, and climate change. She also instructs BA and MA students in creative writing.
