difficulties involved in photographing wildlife in the Philippine
forests, this book, although not covering the country's full species
list, represents an extremely valuable tool in the further understanding
of Philippine wildlife, and serves as a perfect field guide. |

trees. A magnificent celebration of China's wild areas and a call to
ensure that they survive forever. |
