2: Wonderful view of the worlds rainforests.
Most readers know Bruce Beehler for his field guide type of books, Birds of New Guinea, etc. This is a whole different book. Part adventure story, part field biology and conservation. You learn as much about the native people of the various forests visited as you do the flora and fauna. For anyone who is facinated by the world of birds, this is a must read. I've been a bird watcher and aviculturists for over 40 years and have an entire library of bird books. I'm very happy to add Lost Worlds to my collection.
