Wildlife Anatomy: The Curious Lives & Features of Wild Animals Around the World

When people are drawn to a subject, they generally start by sampling it, rather than consuming the whole thing. In her fifth “Anatomy Series” title (after Ocean Anatomy), popular illustrator, author and columnist Rothman provides attractive, interest-pulling samples of information on many living things and aspects of their anatomy. Her interest in wildlife anatomy comes from her sister, who, in addition to being a professor at Hunter College in New York City, spends six months living in a small hut in Uganda, where she studies primates up close. This volume, as the title suggests, covers anatomical aspects of a wide variety of wildlife. Readers of all ages and all levels of education will be drawn to the author’s simple yet charming illustrations and to the book’s snippets of information.
