This book offers the best visual rainforest safari one can get, a safari enjoyed at the comfort of a living room! I've seen some other rainforest books and i can safely say that this one by far, when it comes to a visual experience and some accompanying information, the best on offer. Thomas Marent's eye for the beautiful diversity of rainforests is unmatched! This book offers a photographic journey into the most important rainforests in the world, including the many types of a rainforest. The book is not divided by each included rainforest location, Instead, it tackles the many qualities shared by the many types of rainforests (such as diversity, survival...etc) by a beautiful collection of photographs taken by Marent from 1990 to 2006. This book is dream come true for all lovers of nature and photographers alike! One of those rare books that should not be missed.

My nieces and I looked through this book and they loved all the bright big pictures of the different frogs, mushrooms, and animals. They didn't like all the spider pictures though. Super cool.
