Portraits of the Rain Forest

Very Good used hardcover in dust jacket. Bumped corners and some fading to top and bottom edges. Slight foxing to top edge of pages. Previous owner's name on front end paper. DJ slightly creased with one small tear, old stickers on back cover.

Portraits of the Rainforest explores the precarious contingencies that determine the nature of tropical life, and award-winning author Adrian Forsyth has observed firsthand the ravaging effect of agricultural, economic, and environmental polices on an ecosystem under siege. Yet in this collection of essays, he has chosen to celebrate the rainforest rather than to lament its loss, believing that only by appreciating the ecological richness of the environment will humans be moved to preserve it. With stunning photos by Michael and Patricia Fogden. With a forward by E.O. Wilson.
