Kako žive životinje
With 505 pictures in the text and 16 tables in many colors
The work How Animals Live by the German zoologist and writer Alfred Edmund Brehm—author of the renowned encyclopedia Brehms Tierleben—stands as one of the finest examples of popular science writing on the wonders of nature. With exceptional storytelling talent, warmth, and profound zoological knowledge, Brehm guides the reader into the hidden world of animals, eschewing dry academic descriptions in favor of vivid tales from the field. Through a series of lively chapters, the author describes how animals build their homes, care for their young, hunt prey, communicate with one another, and survive in the harshest natural conditions.
This lavish edition is illustrated with 505 images embedded in the text and includes 16 multi-colored reference charts, further facilitating an understanding of the material. Thematically, it covers a fascinating cross-section of the animal kingdom—ranging from protozoa, sponges, cnidarians, worms, echinoderms, and mollusks, through arthropods, centipedes, insects, arachnids, sea spiders, tardigrades, and tongue worms, all the way to the complex chordates.
Although written in the 19th century, this classic work continues to captivate readers today with its freshness, literary beauty, and educational value. It offers unique insight into biodiversity and fosters an appreciation, love, and desire to conserve nature, making it an enduring literary monument dedicated to the animal kingdom.
