Mr. Newman has written one of the great and comprehensive rainforest books on the market. The book is loaded with great pictures from Mr. Newmans travels around the world. His book is research based but he explains it in a manner that everyone can understand. It is well organized. Each chapter has a differernt topic that breaks down the complexities into a much simplier discussion. He also outlines his beliefs in how society can save the rainforests. It is an outstanding book, one of the few everyone should own on the topic.

I will admit, I am completely biased on this book, as I helped with the research on MANY MANY travels with the author, who also happens to be my father. That being said, I have read many books on this subject, and can honestly state that the research for rainforest ecology, and what is being done, is not only accurate but hands on. My contribution was mainly in the marine section for rivers, streams, and reefs. The rest is definitely the authors and contributions from very well known people in this field. Hope you enjoy it, as much as I did in getting the data from the countries that we had to go to, just to get the research and photos that are in this book.
