Since then, we've grown into a global pioneer, dedicated to helping people read more and waste less. Through the World of Books brand, customers can now buy and sell with us! We provide affordable, preloved books to book lovers all around the world, while also giving people the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet by trading in their unwanted books and media for cash. Through the B2B side of our business we've developed technology to help charities sell in bulk, meaning they can clear much needed floor space and make money for great causes at the same time. A new book will be sold once but their stories can be enjoyed by more than one owner. After all, a story doesn't change because it's been read before!

From the publisher

THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ANIMALS

A reference and identification guide to 840 of the most significant amphibians, reptiles and mammals

Packed full of facts and detailed illustrations, this is a substantially updated family reference guide to the animals that inhabit our world.

From the smallest mouse to the largest whale, this book offers a thorough introduction to an array of reptiles, amphibians and mammals, exploring their habits and habitats.

Beginning with a biological and evolutionary overview of the animal kingdom, the book examines a huge range of animal characteristics, such as anatomy, survival instincts and reproduction, and takes a closer look at what it means to be an amphibian, reptile or mammal.

The main part of the book describes animals from North and South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Over 1000 illustrations, 800 distribution maps and information boxes detailing habitat, diet, size, life span and conservation status accompany the entries.
