The essential reference on Cayman Natural History,
By
This review is from: The Cayman Islands: Natural History and Biogeography (Monographiae Biologicae) (Hardcover)
This is not a tourist book or light reading, but for those who want to gain a grasp of the natural history of the Cayman Islands, this is the book you need. Each chapter is authoritative, despite having been published in 1996, and topics from geology to ornithology are presented. If you want to try to pull everything together, and understand how the geology affects the climate affects the vegetation affects the animals, invertebrates, and birds, this is your reference. It is worth the steep price and even though some chapters (maybe all) need updating, it is a great place to start.
The writing is academic, not engaging, but everything is here in one place. I only wish publishers would put out more broad-ranging syntheses like this! |
