A Neotropical Companion

by John Kricher  •  Mark Plotkin (Introduction)

A tropical primer aimed at the motivated general reader. It's a systematic overview of the ecology, habitats, animals, plants and ecosystems of Central and South America. For those not put off by Latin names and concepts like Batesian mimicry, this handbook is a great introduction to the region.  (GPS11, $35.00)
