US$26.95

A beautiful guide to life on Earth for children aged 8+. Packed full of illustrations, exciting experiments—and even comic strips—That's Life! encourages young scientists to start looking for the living things around them.

Life is everywhere on planet Earth. Jungles, deserts, seas, plains, fields and forests—all of them teem with life but, amazingly, you can also find lots of living things hidden in your home, and even hidden inside you! Join Sherlock Ohms and his companions on a brilliant biological adventure, seeking out all kinds of life, including the life forms hiding in your own home!

地球上生命無所不在!深邃的海洋、高聳的山脈、乾旱酷熱的沙漠、冰雪覆蓋的極地……你的家裡、甚至在你身上,都有各種生命元素等待你偵察!從地球最初的生命出現以來,曾經存在的生物有99.9%都已經滅絕……你還在等什麼呢?快運用你的好奇心和觀察力,跟著神探歐姆,在生物消失以前,好好認識、了解、保護它(牠)們!
  ☆全世界第一具出土的恐龍化石是誰發現的?
  ☆是誰想出把動物和植物分門別類的好方法?
  ☆你的爸媽怎麼把身上的特徵遺傳給你?
  ☆我們為什麼會打嗝?這竟然要問遠古時期、人類的兩生類祖先?
  ☆地球上所有的細菌加起來,重量比人類還要重?
  地球生物的故事要從大約40億年前、最初的生命出現說起;之後,生物一直在錯綜複雜的情況下發展,並且逐漸演化、變得愈來愈多樣……儘管幾十億年來,生物經歷了好幾次大滅絕,但目前存活在地球上的生物,科學家估計應該超過800萬種!
  本書從構成生物的基本單元──細胞開始,帶領讀者從最簡單到最複雜、從遠古到現代,一一認識古菌、細菌、真菌、色藻、原生生物,再到植物與動物,分門別類清楚遊歷生物各大界;同時了解演化與遺傳學、人類與人類的靈長動物近親、生物多樣性等重要概念,一次盡覽廣闊又奧妙的生命世界!
