Illustrated by
Emily Sutton.
Davies begins her consideration of biodiversity by discussing that there can be many species of one living thing (e.g., two kinds of elephants), and gradually explaining that these many kinds of things can live and interact with one another. Descriptions of the disruptive effects of human activities on the environment stress the importance of protecting biodiversity. Sutton's spectacular illustrations are dense yet delicate, full of color, life, and movement.
