(All images and reviews uploaded from Red Cedar Book Award site)Many people think that most species on our planet have already been discovered. In this book, author Elin Kelsey explains that more new species are being discovered now than at any other time in our history! How is this possible? Well, thanks to increasingly sophisticated technology, we are able to explore life on Earth in remarkable ways that weren’t possible even a short time ago. Remotely operated vehicles and tiny global positioning units now enable scientists to search for species in remote places that they couldn’t explore in the past. Powerful computers and the ability to analyze an organism’s DNA allow scientists to study the relationships between species.
Based on first-person interviews with scientists around the world, and filled with beautiful colour photographs and amazing facts and figures, this book gives readers a fascinating glimpse into the ever-evolving world of biology and genetic research.

I really like this book because it's really intresting,and once I started to read it I couldn't stop reading it.
Did you have a favourite "new species"? I enjoyed reading about the investigation into life on Mars... although it's pretty clear that no life forms exist on it now, I find it fascinating that the conditions on the planet may have once supported some type of living creatures! Wouldn't it be great if one day, we could excavate that planet to see if there are any clues about its past???
