New Guinea: An Island Apart

Rating:
Summary: Gorgeous Photos & Informative Text
Review: Combining exceptionally beautiful photographs with well-written essays on natural history, this book is one of the best introductions to this amazing island.
Of particular interest is "Chapter Eleven: The End of Isolation" which considers chances of survival of New Guinea's unique biodiversity, taking into account the very different political and economical conditions that prevail in West Papua and Papua New Guinea.
