In order to survive, all living things on Earth must adapt to their environment. They all have certain senses that help them hunt for prey or ways they protect themselves. With colorful diagrams and succinct text, each chapter of this book covers a different facet of life on Earth, including how plants protect themselves, cold adaptations, and the carbon cycle. "Try This" boxes throughout the book engage readers by suggesting activities and asking questions related to the text.
