The impact of human activity, and climate change in particular, is highlighted throughout.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Where the author pauses to explain topics in detail, the writing is excellent and the charts/graphs are illustrative. Clearly, Osborne is a good teacher who has thought carefully about how to best explain tropical ecology using the entire world as his classroom. Recommended."
G.C. Stevens, Choice Magazine
