Deep Jungle is an exploration of the most alien and feared habitat on earth. Beginning with man's earliest recorded adventures, Fred Pearce takes us high into the canopy--home to two-thirds of all the creatures on our planet. Pearce also uncovers secrets about how evolution works, the intricate links that connect us all, and possible new clues to human origins. The jungle holds the key to our future foods and medicines, our climate, and our understanding of how life works; yet, environmentalists say we are on the verge of destroying the last rainforests, and with them, the planet's evolutionary crucible--maybe even its ability to sustain life. But nature has a way of reclaiming itself, at the ultimate cost to man, and it may do so again. Fred Pearce, former news editor at New Scientist, is currently the magazine's environment and development consultant. An award-winning journalist, he also writes regularly for the I ndependent and The Times Higher Education Supplement and, in the US, for The Boston Globe and Foreign Policy.

Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. Size: 9.7 x 7.8 x 1.2 inches; Hardback with D/J in good condition. 2005 Eden Books. The jungle is one of the most complex places on our planet and a habitat for which humans have always had a love-hate relationship. The very word jungle comes from the Hindi word for "waste ground, " yet these jungles, the world's rain forests, are among the most productive habitats on earth. Written as a companion volume to a PBS series, this look at what the author describes as the romance and the reality of rain forests explores their wonders. Rain forests are among the final frontiers of biological science, and new discoveries occur daily. But, before Western scientists began their exploration of the jungle, Western explorers had to overcome their fear of the deep, dark forests and, following tales of gold and hidden civilizations, begin to penetrate to the interior. Full of interesting biological tidbits and stories of scientists, explorers, capitalists, and indigenous peoples and beautifully illustrated with photos--Deep Jungle is an excellent primer on rain forests and a worthy purchase for all libraries. -used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
