Customer Reviews

Well worth purchasing

The author relates fascinating stories about the life of the jungle. The book is grounded in recent research by biological, sociological, and anthropological scientists. Numerous myths are exposed. I personally found the chapter on ancient cities in the jungle of greatest interest.

More than for just a coffee table!

I watched the PBS program on television and bought this book for my environmental scientist fiance. We both love this book and find it very interesting to flip through. The pictures are marvelous and the content is an easy, yet very informative read.
