Nature of the Islands

 

Virginia Barlow's Nature of the Islands is a truly remarkable guide for those who want to get a handle on Caribbean nature. It covers both plants and animals and not only says what they are, but how they make their living and why they thrive in a certain habitat. This is accomplished by describing seven habitats (beach, reef, mangroves, dry scrub, farmland, gardens and rain forest) in some depth, using the most commonly found plants and animals as examples. A combination that has something to offer to both the novice and the naturalist.
