Extraordinary photography--concise information

I am a teacher building an Ecology unit around Rainforests--I have checked out 32 library books to aid my students in their research. This title is definately the stand out!!!

This book is both an artistic and a literary masterpiece.

Not only will the astounding photographs enchant the reader but the text will also provide him with a collection of important information. The pictures will captivate the reader and further serve to impact oneself upon learning of the daily destruction of the animals and plants behind the images. The information of the text is well delivered and insightful and the photographs are a must see.

Highly recommended; as beautiful as it is informative

The photographs in this book have the power to transport you to the very lands it depicts; the rainforests come alive. These visual reminders only heighten the impact of the horrible statistics that detail the daily destruction of the world's rainforests
