5.0 out of 5 stars very informative, entertaining, captivating, 20 Mar 1999

By A Customer

A well written, easily readable biological treatise about basic American Tropical ecology. Initial chapter on the climate that dictates all else in the tropics is paticularly interesting. The remainder of the book is divided into various chapters dealing with various plant and animal idiosyncracies. Numerous fascinating facts, anectodes spice up what can potentially be a pretty dry, high-school biology textbook subject matter. The section on the importance of excrements to the rainforest and two chapters on tropical ants and their social lives fascinating. Good reading for anyone interested in basic tropical ecology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and fun reading, 25 Dec 1997

By A Customer

I read this before visiting the rainforest in southwest Peru. It's inviting, narrative, yet informative text made my experience all that more rewarding. A definite for any laypersons interested in the rainforest of the americas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 12 Nov 1998

By A Customer

If you're interested in tropical rainforests (and even if you've never given them much consideration), you'll find this book full of interesting information describing how the cycle of nature works in a tropical environment. Their accounts left me full of wonder. I'm awestruck by Mother Nature!
