The second of the author's "Life" trilogy of books which accompanies the television series, "The Living Planet". In this book the author describes how the animals and plants that inhabit the earth fit together into the living world.

In each habitat there are plants or animals who have become specialized in their fight to make the best use of their surroundings.
