Myanmar, though relatively unexplored by modern scientists, is a biological hotspot. Kress, a botanist and curator at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, made many visits to Myanmar over the course of nine years, surveying the forests, thickets, rivers and mangroves of this rich country. This is the riveting tale of his explorations, presented with over 250 sumptuous color photographs.
