Grade 7 Up-What do Movile Cave and the Mariana Trench have in common? They are both habitats where unique life-forms have developed. It has only been in the last 50 years that scientists have been able to explore these remote ecosystems in caves, the ocean, and in underground aquifers. Stewart begins her book with a clear explanation of photosynthesis and the food chain. She then considers how life evolved with little or no light, focusing on specific habitats. The author describes some of the amazing creatures discovered and weaves in information about plate tectonics and animal classification to give a full picture of life below Earth's surface. She concludes with a discussion of some of the questions raised by these investigations. Average-quality black-and-white photographs and drawings and two sections of full-color photos illustrate the book.
