Other editions of book Tropical Forests

The introductory pages of this book describe the biomes of the world and then tropical forest biome. The 5 main chapters look at different aspects of tropical forests: climate, plants, animals, people, and future. Between the chapters are detailed maps that focus on key forest regions. Throughout the book you'll also find boxed stories or fact files about tropical forests. At the end of the book is a glossary.

Each book in this series provides readers with a deeper understanding of the world's biological communities, with each title focusing on a particular biome, biome type, groups of biomes or system. The books contain an introduction to the Earth's principal biomes with enough depth for project work. The atlas approach gives the series a relevance to the geography curriculum.
