The North American continent stretches over 9.5 million square miles, and is home to more than 500 million people, who share it with hundreds of thousands of species of mammals, birds, insects, and plants — many of them extraordinary, unforgettable, and unique. With 150,000 miles of coastline, North America also has the longest and most abundant shores of any continent on Earth.
In the stunning seven-part series from Discovery Channel, renowned nature producer Huw Cordey travels from the Arctic to the Tropics, revealing the wonders of the most dynamic continent on Earth — from the stunning glow of the Aura Borealis in Alaska to the thousands of tornadoes that batter the Great Plains each year to the 55-ton crystals in Mexico's Crystal Cave.
North America, the companion book to the television series, follows the producers as they tell the story of this rich and eclectic land through more than 250 gorgeous full-color photographs and engaging essays. Chock-full of interesting facts about the various ecology and wildlife of the many regions of the continent — Prairies, Coasts, Mountains, Freshwater, Deserts, and Forests — North America exposes the continent as you've never seen it before.

      North America, from arctic to rain forest and everything in between, is covered in vividly colored photographs and informative and interesting text. The book is broken up into seven chapters (presumably the same format as the companion seven-part Discovery Channel series that premiered in May 2013), and the emphasis is on the continent, with tidbits of how some of the more difficult shots were achieved. Great for flipping through for the pictures or for picking up little-known facts. The temptation may be to stick this volume in reference, but the organization of the book lends itself better to circulation. Recommended for school and public libraries.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
