This is a bird identification guide with a difference. Instead of using colour plates of paintings, this is a photographic guide. Photographs of living birds can often provide detail not available in paintings, such as typical poses, real habitat and often more realistic colouring. A map shows each species' distribution in and around Australia and the text gives details of size, colour, shape, behaviour, calls and habitat. The at-a-glance symbols at the end of each entry indicate major habitat types. This second edition has updated maps, general text information and common Latin name

When you read your Bible and come to the name of a plant, do you sometimes draw a blank. Harry Baerg fills in the blanks in your Bible imagery with full-color paintings of all of these animals.

Truly nonevolutionary in philosophy, spirit, and sequence of study. Begins with the familiar, tangible things of nature with special emphasis on the structure and function; and concludes with God’s amazing design at the cellular and chemical level. Investigates such fields of study as botany, zoology, microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, cytology, genetics, and ecology. Reflects the latest advances in man’s understanding of living things without neglecting a foundation in the basics.

Remarkable colour photographs show how a dragonfly hatches from a tiny egg, lives underwater as a nymph, and finally emerges fully grown and flies away. Each stage is explained in simple language with bold headings for very young children, and more detailed information for slightly older readers.
