An excellent book on the Wet Tropics WHA including a great array of articles on different topics from Australian scientists. A particular emphasis is on management, and there is a hope that the lessons gained from this maybe best studied tropical rainforest area would be helpful for other rainforest regions. I wished for more precise information about the vegetation of the area.
