商品簡介
An imaginative field guide to the fantasy world of Mechanica creatures, with amazing and beautiful steampunk-inspired illustrations.
At the end of the 23rd century, Earth could no longer support wildlife. The warnings had been ignored. Corporations continued to expose the environment to chemical and radioactive waste and many Earth species began to disappear. By 2450, vast areas of the Orient and Americas had become uninhabitable and wildlife extinct as the public demands answers and solutions. In place of the lost wildlife species, the corporations of both the East and West begin to create Mechanica: human-created life forms designed to replace the old. The pages inside this book are the character Sir Prescott's illustrations and observations of the creatures he discovers on his many field trips. Kids will marvel at the steampunk-inspired renderings of mechanical bugs, birds, bats, snakes, and more!
