Joining others in the 'Ecosystem' series but standing well alone also
is a fine exploration of tropical forests of the world which reviews
ancient history, biology, ecosystem development, and the geology and
impact of rainforests on the world. Over 100 photos and line drawings
spice and color a presentation filled with sidebars of facts, making
for an excellent recommendation not just for middle to high school
libraries, but for general-interest collections seeking a colorful,
fact-filled and easily-accessible guide.
