*Condition Note: Minor overall wear.*

"Nature testifies that God exists. The complexity and life histories of plants and animals reveal intricate details of design and function far beyond that which we could expect through just chance and time. The handiwork of God still shows in the descendants of His original creation. Marvelous adaptations appearing in nature since Creation emphasize the foreknowledge of God in making provision for almost any environmental circumstance that could occur. Except for the fossils, most animals and plants that have become extinct have done so at the hand of man."
Thus biologist Lester E Harris, Jr, looks at nature and sees the signature of the Divine Creator. Each two-page spread of this delightfully illustrated book examines some unusual plant or animal. Whether it is the insect that catches tadpoles, a strange plant that crawls around like an amoeba, a fish whose eye travels from one side of the body to the other, or plants that catch fish and insects, Harris brings to the reader a sense of wonder and amazement toward the world around us.
