E-Book Overview
Это свободно организованное издание состоит из 28 глав (большинство из них - две страницы). В каждом из абзацев текста содержится обзор конкретного аспекта экологии пруда или рек. Остальное пространство заполнено четкими фотографиями флоры или фауны, сопровождаемое подписью одного или двух предложений, идентифицирующих их и описывающих их основные характеристики. Включены описания сезонной жизни пруда, а также краткие обзоры видов рыб, водоплавающих птиц, птиц, рептилий, млекопитающих, насекомых, моллюсков и растений, которые обычно встречаются в этих средах. This loosely organized, general introduction consists of 28 chapters (most are two pages long). In each, a paragraph of text provides an overview of a particular aspect of pond or river ecology. The remaining space is crammed with clear photographs of flora or fauna, accompanied by a caption of one or two sentences identifying them and describing their basic characteristics. Included are descriptions of seasonal pond life as well as short surveys of the kinds of fish, waterfowl, birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, mollusks, and plants that are commonly found in these environments.
