A beautifully illustrated exploration of the science behind the awe-inspiring giants of past and present The colossal plants and animals of our world —dinosaurs, whales, and even trees—are a source of unending fascination, and their sheer scale can be truly impressive. Size is integral to the way that organisms experience the world: a puddle that a human being would step over without thinking is an entire world to thousands of microscopic rotifers. But why are creatures the size that they are? Why aren t bugs the size of elephants, or whales the size of goldfish? In this lavishly illustrated new book, biologist Graeme D. Ruxton explains how and why nature s giants came to be so big—for example, how decreased oxygen levels limited the size of insects and how island isolation allowed small bodied animals to evolve larger body sizes. Through a diverse array of examples, from huge butterflies to giant squid, Ruxton explores the physics, biology, and evolutionary drivers behind organism size, showing what it s like to live large.
