Kuala Lumpur ; New York: Oxford University Press, USA, 1994. Hardcover. Very Good+/Good. A second printing of this beautiful book, no inscriptions protected in a ne w brodart wrapper, not an ex-lib, some wear to the dustjacket but minimal; Tropical rain forests, covering only seven percent of the earth's land sur face, are the world's oldest ecosystems, providing natural habitats for ove r 50 percent of all species. The Indonesian archipelago, composed of some 1 3,000 equitorial islands, contains 10 percent of the world's total rain forest area and is home to an estimated 4,000 species of trees, 500 sp ecies of mammals, and over 1,500 species of birds. This beautifully illustr ated volume celebrates Indonesia's unique and diverse rain forests. It desc ribes the fascinating ecology of these areas, the distinctive habitats of the main islands, and their abundant and colorful flora and fauna. Special attention is given to issues involved in protecting this biological diversi ty, especially those species that are most endangered.
