We believe this is from Tom Lovejoy's personal library inventory system. This book is from the collection of Thomas Lovejoy. Dr. Lovejoy was an influential ecologist, field biologist, and activist; former head of the Amazon Biodiversity Center, World Wildlife Fund, and advisor to the United Nations and Smithsonian Institution. He is credited with introducing the term biological diversity to the mainstream environmental movement. In addition, he was a passionate collector of books on the natural world. He died in 2021 and we are very excited to present a selection of his books. Please browse the entire catalogue here on ABE or contact us for instructions on how to get to it. Thomas Lovejoy's name is not written in this book, although the spine label may well be his addition. It will come with a card stating provenance, with a picture of Lovejoy. This is an oversized book. Extra shipping may be required for international or priority shipping. Please email with questions or to see any photos.
