Product Description

Review

"The authors have countered trends toward specialization in science and put together a comprehensive book that presents a unified picture of tropical environments and their interaction with mankind.."
-American Meteorological Society
"This is a strong and exciting volume with balanced coverage of biophysical environments and the integration of this coverage with human management issues provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and well balanced book.
."
-Karl Zimmerer, University of Wisconsin, Madison

Product Description

Tropical Environments presents a comprehensive introduction to the complex systems of the tropics. Covering a broad, cross-regional range of humid through to semi-arid tropical climate zones, the book features a wealth of case studies drawn from throughout the tropical world. The authors tackle the major problems within the tropics, from complex biological interactions and soil nutrient deficiencies, offering a balanced integration of biophysical and human management issues.

Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
Two conditions make tropical environments of special interest to both natural and social scientists: they cover a large proportion of the earth's total surface area; and they are home to a large proportion of the world's people, most of whom live in poverty. Read the first page

great book! 23 July 2006

By Eco-T - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

this book is an easy-to-read, very informative book for anyone interested in what makes tropical environments different from temperate ones. An important book for dispelling of the myths associated with the tropics (such as tropical soils are infertile) and identifying knowledge gaps and limitations of current research about the tropics. What I like about the book is that it makes the effort to differentiate between the tropics and does not concentrate only on rainforests, which is what most books about the tropics tend to do. I recommend this book to all tropical ecologists and anyone interested in low latitude systems.
