Tropical Rainforests

The worlds' richest terrestrial habitat, the tropical rainforest is an emerald mansion of biological riches. In 5,000 words of text, over 1,000 words of captions, & 40 brilliant color photos, this book presents a roundup look at the world's rainforests, as enchanted & fruitful as they are endangered. To make the diversity of the forest understandable, the book approaches it by levels: the floor, the understory, the canopy, & the pavillion. Like other books in the Blake Habitat series, complex ideas & relationships are presented in a clear & relaxed manner. Unfamiliar terms are used & immediately explained. Captions identify animals & plants & also name their ecological equivalents on other continents. From the photos taken by 18 of the world's best wildlife photographers to the text by a noted writer with a zoology background, no effort has been spared to make this book a quality & good value standout in a forest of competitors.Hamilton, Jean is the author of 'Tropical Rainforests', published 1993 under ISBN 9780918303356 and ISBN 0918303354.
