Allí abajo, donde las pantas hunden sus raíces y los gusanos excavan sus galerías, hay un mundo oculto que aguarda a ser descubierto... Lleno de vida y rebosante de pequeños animales, el suelo que pisamos esconde un sinfín de historias fascinantes: cómo sobreviven las plantas en la aridez del desierto, cómo crecen los hongos, cómo puede ayundar el suelo a frenar el cambio climático.
Under Your Feet delves beneath the Earth's surface and explores the diverse wonders hidden there. Encounter creatures of the deep and marvel at the mind-boggling size of the humongous fungus - the biggest organism in the world. Learn how one handful of ordinary soil contains more organisms than there are people on Earth, and carry out experiments using dirt from your own back garden. Under Your Feet offers you the opportunity to expand your knowledge of the natural world and soil-dwelling creatures big and small. Bursting with colorful illustrations and photography, this is the perfect book for budding young plant experts, animal fanatics, and geologists, and anyone who is curious about the ground we walk on.
