The Strangest Things in the World: A Book About Extraordinary Manifestations of Nature
Thomas Robert Henry
An underground jungle you cannot see, a sponge that will not die, glowing stars strung across cave ceilings, and ants that wage organized war: Thomas Henry collects nature's genuine oddities and explains the science behind each. Every chapter is a small astonishment drawn from real biology. A cabinet of wonders for the endlessly curious. Step in and be amazed.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
