About this title

Synopsis

More than two million different species of organisms live on Earth--in all kinds of climates and places, ranging from the freezing North Pole to hot and steamy jungles, and from the highest mountains to the nethermost depths of the oceans. How do we keep track of the teeming abundance of life on Earth? Throughout history, humans have always been busy naming and classifying all living things. That process continues today. THE KINGDOMS OF LIFE: CLASSIFICATION explores the amazing diversity of life on Earth and details one way scientists currently organize their records to make sure no organism is left unnamed and unclassified.
