Nature's Giants: The Biology and Evolution of the World's Largest Lifeforms

by Graeme D. Ruxton Author and Norman Owen-Smith Author

Size plays a crucial role in how living beings perceive and interact with the world around them, and what may seem like an insignificant puddle to a human being could be an entire universe for thousands of microscopic rotifers. However, have you ever wondered why organisms are the sizes they are? Why aren't insects as large as rhinos or whales as small as guppies? This exquisitely illustrated book delves into the scientific exploration of the magnificent creatures that have amazed us throughout history. Whether it's dinosaurs, whales, or towering trees, their colossal size never fails to captivate our imagination, just as Nature's Giants is sure to captivate yours.
