A Neotropical Companion by John C Kricher
A Neotropical Companion is an introduction to the American tropics, the lands of Central and South America, their rainforests and other ecosystems, and the creatures that live there."Well illustrated and beautifully written. . . . [A Neotropical Companion] contains a wealth of information, explanations, and curious facts about the region's natural history, and is the kind of overview that Alfred Russel Wallace and Henry Bates and other early scientific explorers of Amazonia would have given their fingers from their collecting hand to have possessed."---Adrian Barnett, New Scientist
"This fantastic book [is]. . . packed with useful information, and [is] absolutely essential to everyone with any level of interest in neotropical rainforests and other ecosystems and the biodiversity they harbor. Most highly recommended." * Wildlife Activist *
"Krichner has created a highly readable, comprehensive overview of Neotropical ecosystems, which can serve on many levels: as a traveler+s companion, as an introductory text for students, or as recreational reading material for those interested in tropical ecosystems." * Choice *
"Makes tropical ecology accessible to anyone interested in the subject. . .This should be required reading for anyone planning an ecotourism adventure in the Neotropics.""---Dan R. Kunkle, Wildlife Activist
