5.0 out of 5 stars Environmental masterpiece, February 27, 2002

By	Martin Stummer (Iloilo, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This book is the first and only one that focuses on the environmental aspects of the Philippines in a convincing and brilliant way. I hope to meet Mr. Nigel Hicks one day in person.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY, A BOOK ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARKS OF THE PHILIPPINES, April 29, 2007

By	BRYCE_DERICK "BrYcE" (Los Angeles,Ca.) - See all my reviews

I recently bought this book (april 28 2007) and im happy to get this since i never had any idea where and what philippine national parks look like and where are they exactly located...its full of information and photography with some of the unusual flora and fauna found endemic in the country....while the book is chock full of informations and photographs, it still is incomplete as there are some more national parks not shown...a volume 2 would have been made.wish books like these are being published more for awareness of how rich and diverse the country has to offer
