The Rain Forests of Home, Profile of a North American Bioregion

by Peter Schoonmaker  •  Bettina von Hagen  •  Edward Wolf

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 1996
  • PAPER
  • 480 PAGES

A detailed biological, cultural and historical portrait of the coastal rain forest. The result of a multidisciplinary conference, it's a gold mine of facts, figures and descriptive information on the region by a diverse group of experts. The short chapters on geology, climate and vegetation are particularly good. Written primarily for environmental planners, this book offers much to the seriously interested general reader.  (PNW08, $60.00)
