The Tropical World
Georg Hartwig
Georg Hartwig sweeps across the hot zones of the earth: the grassy llanos, the high Andean puna, the rainless Peruvian coast, and the vast Amazon forest. He gathers the plants, animals, and peoples of the tropics into one panoramic survey brimming with wonders. A grand Victorian tour of the world's warmest lands. Set out for the equator and its riches.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
