站在“博物学”角度讲自然的科普图书

涵盖超过五千种物种的地球自然史大全

本书的出版是史密森博物院国家自然历史博物馆的一个里程碑，厚达六百多页，委托全球各地的自然史专家撰写内文。从微生物到哺乳类，以生动有趣的方式介绍各种生物的特征及地理分布──既然是自然史大全，岩石和化石当然也少不了。

翻看本书，就像是静谧的下午在幽静的自然博物馆欣赏一个个展示柜，惊叹里头收藏的珍禽异兽，让人浮想联翩，仿佛置身遥远的热带国度，在潮湿炎热的雨林中探险。

本书涵盖超过5000种博物学世界的物种，数千张精心拍摄的照片，着眼于成干上万的标本和物种展示，清楚地概述了自然世界的分类。

每一页的动植物都介绍了生物分类：哪一界？哪一纲？哪一目？各物种都附有英文全名及学名，有时也介绍栖地，有些物种还有专栏专门介绍。观看本书就像行走在视觉画廊中，让读者踏上一段关于地球自然历史的视觉之旅。
