Rainforest
Oldfield, Coleman
Rainforest describes and illustrates the major rainforests around the world, from the secret forests and exotic mammals of Madagascar to the multi-coloured bird and butterfly life of Central America. The precarious paradise of the Amazon, with more plant and animal species than anywhere else on Earth, is covered in depth. This evocative exploration around the world brings to life the natural splendour of the world's rich and diverse rainforest life.
Rainforest habitat has long been considered a measure of the fragile nature of the earth's dwindling wildlife resources, having been eroded both by natural forces and by man alike. However, even now, at the dawn of a new century, over half of the world's living species can be found almost exclusively within the rainforest canopy.
Using spectacular images, from some of the world's most renowned wildlife photographers, along with a remarkable up-to-date running narrative, this sumptuous book celebrates the diversity, colour and beauty of the wealth of wildlife still remaining in this extraordinary and complex habitat.
200 full-colour photographs and 1 colour map. 160 pages.
