The world's tropical forests are sometimes referred to as the 'lungs of the world', being as they are, a major source of oxygen for the planet. They are also the home of incredibly diversified flora and fauna. That's why their continuing diminishment is of such vital concern. A part of the outstanding 'Ecosystems and Biomes' series from Jones & Bartlett Publishers, "Tropical Forests" by Bernard A. Marcus (Genessee Community College, Batavia, New York) provides an analytical and descriptive survey of world tropical forests in terms of the issues confronting them today. Addressing soil and water concerns, the ecosystem networks of plants and animals, the varying nature of tropical forests, and a great deal more, "Tropical Forests" is a superbly written and presented introduction. Of special note is the chapter focusing on the role tropical forests play in our global climate. Enhanced with the inclusion of an extensive glossary and a comprehensive index, "Tropical Forests" is an ideal classroom textbook and strongly recommended to the attention of non-specialist general readers with an interest in contemporary global environmental issues.
