This new edition of Whitmores classic introduction to tropical rain forests has been comprehensively revised and updated, reflecting the changes which have taken place since it was first published in 1990. The sections on human impact have been extended to include a new global assessment of deforestation as well as details of new research on biodiversity and conservation. Discussion of the future of the rain forests and priorities for action is incorporated. The book remains unique in linking rain forest biology and ecology with silviculture, and with concerns over sustainable resource utilization and the future of the tropical rain forests. It includes sections on the diverse animal and plant life forms which are found in the rain forest, and the interconnections between them. Nutrient cycles and forest dynamics are fully explained, with new data on ecophysiology and forest microclimates. The geologic and climatic history of rain forests, and the widespread canopy disturbances now understood to have occurred in the past, are explored. Accessibly written, and illustrated throughout with linedrawings and photographs, this is a must for biology and geography students, and anyone else who seeks to know more about the nature and importance of the worlds tropical rain forests.

I thought this book would cover more on the environmental issues facing rain forests. While there's some information, it felt a bit surface-level. Disappointed, but the photos are beautiful!
