Abstract:
"Take a visual journey of discovery through the animal and plant kingdoms -- and uncover the extraordinary rhythms of nature! Here are the answers to all kinds of curious questions, including: How long do eggs take to hatch? Do dogs really need more sleep than humans? What are the worlds fastest- and slowest-growing plants? And many more! These infographics shed light on the truly remarkable range of the natural world -- how plants and animals grow and age, sleep and migrate, and reproduce and die. Spanning ideas both big and small -- from evolution to animal behavior -- The Time Nature Keeps is a visual trove of nature's clocks that brings the worlds cadences to life before our eyes" -- Provided by publisher.
