In the Rainforest, Report from a Strange, Beautiful, Imperiled World

In the Rainforest, Report from a Strange, Beautiful, Imperiled World

by Catherine Caufield

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 1984
  • PAPER
  • 304 PAGES

This investigative journalist deftly combines good basic information on the ecology of the world's rain forests, a report on thorny conservation issues and a sympathetic treatment of indigenous inhabitants through masterly prose. In this fact-filled book, we travel with Caufield to some of the most spectacular and endangered places on earth: the rain forests of Africa, Central and South America, India, the Philippines and Indonesia. Originally published in 1984, this is still an excellent survey of rainforest ecology and issues worldwide.  (FST01, $20.00)
