The Philippines: A Natural History

The Philippines: A Natural History by Colin Rees "celebrates the extraordinary beauty and diversity of the Philippines' over 7,000 islands. Richly descriptive of the archipelago's topography, climate, and oceanography, along with its tectonic and geological history, chapters explore prehistory and the early years of indigenous life before moving on to Spanish times. Profiled are many of its protected areas--landscapes and seascapes designed to staunch the profound imprint of human activity that threatens the country's biodiversity."
