The decimation of Latin America's tropical forests has been the source of much recent political and popular discussion. In the Amazon basin alone, twenty thousand square kilometers are cleared each year. If we are to salvage this vast ecosystem, we must first recognize the complex interplay of political and economic interests that has brought us to this point. Toward that end, Professor Susan E. Place has collected some of the most influential scholarship on tropical deforestation for Tropical Rainforests. The thirty articles - written by individuals as diverse as economists, naturalists, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, geologists, and novelists - reflect the complexity of the topic itself.

David M. Carroll became hooked on turtles when he was eight years old and has never looked back. Now a much-published nature writer and artist, he looks in this memoir at his life, which no matter what else it has contained--poverty, loneliness, disappointment--has been satisfyingly full of turtles. In careful drawings, color paintings, and a fascinating text, Carroll describes the life of the freshwater turtles he has studied for 40 years.
