"This is a wonderful research tool for life science classes."

"Often we limit our thinking of endangered species to only animals, but this set includes endangered and threatened mammals, arachnids, birds, crustaceans, insects, mollusks, amphibians, fish, reptiles and plants. Gives a good overview of the species, and is an great starting place. Recommended."

"This will be a useful set for both school and public libraries. A very affordable alternative to
The Endangered Wildlife of the World (Marchall Cavendish, 1993) or the
Grolier Student Encyclopedia of Endangered Species (Grolier, 1994).
