Description: A North Pole centered star–shaped map of the world from 1901 showing the six great life regions of earth, including the Australian, South American, African, Asian, Eurasian, and North American regions. The map also shows the transitional zones where there is some overlapping. "The deserts and mountain regions that lie between the torrid and north temperate heat belts, together with the sea, are such important barriers to the spread of animal and plant life that they may be taken to mark the division of the continental plateau into six great life regions. In each of these the plants and animals differ to a greater or lesser extent from those of all the other regions." &mdash Redway, 1901, p. 29.
