An Introduction to Cloud Forest Trees : Monteverde, Costa Rica

Rating:
Summary: The Rainforest in it's Supremacy
Review: This book along with the photo essay book, "Costa Rica : The Last Country the Gods Made," should be owned by anyone who loves Costa Rica, even if they think they despise natural history monologues as too narrow in their scope of a country. This book's spirit is undeniable.

Summary: An Introduction to Cloud Forest Trees
Review: This book is an incredibly useful guide to the trees of Monteverde and should be bought by all students, faculty and tourists visting the area, who are interested in plants. It has a clear, easy-to-use key for plant identification and provides detailed, interesting information on most of Monteverde's important tree species. In addition, it provides a good introduction to plant ecology in the region.

I have used this book extensively in the field and have found it to be an excellent field guide. I would highly recommend it to anyone- whether a seasoned botanist or a tourist interested in learning more about the area's vegetation.
