Four Neotropical Rainforests by Gentry, Alwyn H.(editor) - 1990

New Haven & London: Yale University Press, 1990. Illustrated with charts and a few maps and illustrations, thick octavo, pp xvi, 627, very clean internally, paperback, the upper cover and the first page very slightly creased at the corner, otherwise a very good copy. [The rapid disappearance of tropical forests is widely recognized as a crucial problem for the world's environment, yet little is known about these complex ecosystems. In this book, experts on the four most thoroughly studied rainforests in Central and South America (Manaus, Brazil; Manu Park, Peru; Barro Colorado Island, Panama and La Selva, Costa Rica) compare the flora, fauna, and ecological characteristics of these forests. This assemblage of data, available for the first time, should be a valuable resource for researchers and students.]. Paperback. Very Good.
