Exploring the World Around You

Exploring the World Around You brings the varieties of our planet's habitats alive to the reader, and is a wonderful learning tool complete with illustrations, chapter tests, and an index. It has been said that our planet is really just an insignificant speck in a vast universe, but that is not true! In fact, the conditions for life on earth are supremely unique and make our life here comfortable. This despite the reality that the world around us is also tainted and in need of careful calibration in order to continue. This scripturally-founded book opens a window to the spectacular environments found on our planet, from deserts to tropics, with respect to creationism. Research and biologist Dr. Gary Parker brings his vast knowledge of the ecology to a teaching setting, exploring and explaining ecosystems, population growth, habitats adaptations, energy problems and much more. Learn about insect control in California, why mammals have fur, and how sharks maintain "friendships" with small fish known as remora.
