Jungle - Theresa Greenaway

Jungles are noisy and colourful. They are also dark
impenetrable
and mysterious. This stunning collection of specially commissioned photographs brings their rich diversity of plants
animals
and insects vividly to life
from forest floor to lofty canopy.Starting with the different types of rainforest
including mangrove swamps
and lowland and cloud forests
the book takes the reader on a breathtaking journey through all the jungles of the world. Learn about jungle produce and explorers
and the medicines derived from rainforest plants. Sadly
vast tracts of jungle around the world have already been destroyed for commercial gain. This book opens our eyes to their ecological importance and whey they must be protected. Written by botanist Theresa Greenaway
Jungle is a unique and exciting introduction to an extraordinary and endangered environment.
