- A detailed full page illustration, ideal for coloring, depicts representative organisms for each phylum. An identical but smaller illustration labels the organisms.
- In addition to introducing and describing familiar and unfamiliar plants, animals, and microorganisms, the text introduces current topics of interest, such as the relation of archaebacteria to other bacteria and the eukaryotes.
- Diversity of Life also contains handy learning guides: an introduction to classification systems and life cycles, cell movement, modes of nutrition, a brief geological history of the Earth, and a glossary of terms.
- Unique, magnified sections of the art present a wide variety of organisms displayed within their own specific niches of shared habitats.
