Rainforests are the most complex, productive, dynamic and diverse places on Earth. In this stunning volume these largely unexplored ecosystems are revealed through the spectacular photography of Thomas Marent, a self-taught photographer who has dedicated half his life to capturing images of rainforest life. Arranged thematically into four sections exploring the ways in which different life forms co-exist. Includes a 70-minute CD featuring the amazing sounds from the rainforest. Features up-close views of the plants, trees, reptiles, birds, amphibians, insects and mammals of the rainforest. Over 16 years in the making, Marent has travelled across 5 continents and dedicated half his life to capturing the astonishing variety and fascinating behaviour of rainforest life - from flesh-eating army ants and poisonous frogs to the vast colonies of technicolour butterflies that flutter high in the canopy.
