The edition behind this number
Read this result carefully
The Library of Congress record for this 40th anniversary, first Mariner Books edition gives 363.738/4, displayed here as 363.7384. It therefore belongs in the 300s social-sciences class in this record, even though readers may first associate its subject with biology or nature. Classification can reflect how a work treats a subject, rather than a single everyday topic word. The record lists 2002 publication information, an introduction by Linda Lear and an afterword by Edward O. Wilson. Keep those edition details attached to this number, and consult the local catalogue for shelving rather than treating it as a number for every environmental book.
The record lists a valid ISBN associated with this edition. That does not independently verify every metadata field, establish a universal number for every version, or give the complete local shelf location. Compare the source with your copy.
