Book Description: University of Texas Press, United States, 2006. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 274 x 217 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The Selva Maya (Jungle of the Maya) is one of the world's most magical yet least appreciated places - an enormous tropical forest that encompasses much of Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. At 9,000,000 acres, it is the largest contiguous tropical forest north of the Amazon in the Western Hemisphere. Within its borders, the Selva Maya provides habitat for an astonishing diversity of plants and animals - more than 500 species of birds alone. The forest also contains the fascinating ruins of ancient Maya cities, which attract visitors and researchers from all over the globe. "Jungle of the Maya" presents a stunning photographic portrait of this irreplaceable natural treasure. Nature photographers Douglas Goodell and Jerry Barrack capture the living wonders of the jungle - jaguars and other cats; spider and howler monkeys; hummingbirds and butterflies; and, snakes, amphibians, and insects - as well as the region's hallmark Maya sites, including Tikal, Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Tulum.Environmental writer Jim Wright invitingly describes the Selva Maya's natural and human history, helping visitors and residents appreciate the riches to be found in the forest and the need to protect and preserve them for generations to come. Because human activities are encroaching more and more on the Mayan forest, "Jungle of the Maya" is a beautiful book with a timely message. As renowned naturalist Archie Carr III sums it up in his foreword, 'Today, the Selva Maya is at risk again. As modern beings, can we manage the forest better than we believe the ancient Maya did? We should. We have the archaeological record to draw from. We have modern science. And we still have inspiration whispered to us by spirits in the great plazas of Tikal and beyond. Turn the pages, and witness'. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780292714120
