Seeing this on the shelf at the library gripped me hard as the photos are stunningly beautiful. The information inside covered the basics to the seemingly advanced--at least to this non-fiction reader that doesn't touch much science material. In other words, I became fascinated early on but didn't gain that much from all of the details about the species the authors chose to highlight. Perhaps I should have just read the stuff that really interested me and skipped the rest.
