This first edition is in good condition. The pages are tight, appear unread, and the book is firm and square. However, there is a library stamp on the page preceding the title page, along with a reference book stamp indicating that the encyclopedia volumes have not circulated. The front cover and spine show some shelf wear, but the pages are of high quality, unmarked, and in excellent condition. Endangered Wildlife and Plants of the World: Volume 11 (TAK-UAK) is the eleventh volume in a comprehensive 13-volume encyclopedia set published by Marshall Cavendish Corporation in 2001. This series educates readers about endangered animal and plant species worldwide, promoting conservation through increased awareness. The articles are supplemented with vivid color photographs, range maps, and fact boxes that include taxonomic details and conservation status. The entire set spans 1,872 pages and includes additional resources such as essays on environmental issues, glossaries, and indexes to facilitate further research. Now out of print, the series remains a sought-after reference for conservation studies, praised for its comprehensive coverage and visual appeal.
