A Land Of Ghosts Description: For thirty years David Campbell has been conducting ecological studies in the Brazilian Amazon. It is a place of extraordinary abundance: in the eighteen hectares of rainforest Campbell has studied are 20, 000 individual trees of about 2, 000 species - three times as many species of trees as there are in all of North America. And each tree is an ecosystem in itself, bearing fungi, lichens, mosses, reptiles, mammals, birds, spiders, scorpions, beetles and uncountable legions of insects. Campbell knows each tree on his study sites as an individual. River of Light is the story of the Amazonian rainforest of Brazil, its flora and fauna, and of the people who try to live on this frontier so vast that they seem eclipsed by it - the colonists from eastern Brazil, the caboclos who eke out a living in the river or forest, and the Native Americans, who once understood every nuance of the forest and had a name for every one of its species, but are now dislocated and confused, coveting Western ways but unable to grasp them. These people, wittingly or unwittingly, are destroying the forest, and Campbell`s book is at once a description of a world that is vanishing fast and a plea for its survival. In The Crystal Desert, his first, highly-praised book, David Campbell wrote about Antarctica, a place where only a handful of species have managed to climb ashore and survive. In the Amazon Valley there are more species of lichens, liverworts, mosses and algae on a single palm leaf than there are growing on the entire continent of Antarctica. It is a fine canvas for Campbell to paint his extraordinary word pictures upon.... Read More about the "A Land Of Ghosts" on the The Nile Book Store Website

Archipelago: Portraits Of Life Description: This new masterwork, by the creators of the acclaimed 2001 book, Remains of a Rainbow, showcases the unique flora and fauna of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, both terrestrial and marine. Nearly seventy percent of our nation`s coral reefs are present in the NWHI chain. The rich diversity of these coral reefs, the rainforests of the sea, supports a vast array of animals and plants, many existing nowhere else in the world. Although the ten NWHI are relatively small (comprising 0.1 of 1 percent of the land area of Hawaii) and unknown to most people (with the exception of Midway) they provide refuge for vibrant natural communities including monk seals, vast numbers of seabirds, plants, and invertebrates. Human culture is not the dominant presence here; wildlife reigns. Through a succession of protective actions, the NWHI and their surrounding marine environment have virtually become off limits to people with the exception of occasional authorized research and conservation expeditions. The inaccessibility of the NWHI and the need to protect them from damage means that few people will ever be able to experience and see them directly, through an unmediated eye. This book is a way to share a national treasure and to reveal the richness and value of the NWHI through these inspired portraits....
