About This Book

Journey along with Dr. Meg Lowman, a scientist who, with the help of slings, suspended walkways, and mountain-climbing equipment, has managed to ascend into one of our planet's least accessible and most fascinating ecosystems — the rain-forest canopy, an area unexplored until the last ten years and home to previously unknown species of plants and animals.

"Fresh in outlook and intriguing in details, this book will strengthen any library collection on the rainforest." — Booklist
