About the Author
Silva did post-graduate study in conservation at Chicago's University of Illinois and Field Museum of Natural History under a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. He has lectured throughout the US at, among others, the American Museum of Natural History, NY; Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; and National Public Radio.
His recent works for PANGAEA include Natural Cuba/Cuba natural (1996); Natural Puerto Rico/Puerto Rico natural (1998); Coquí y sus Amigos: Los Animales de Puerto Rico/Coquí and His Friends: The Animals of Puerto Rico (1999); and stunning Year 2000 calendars of Cuban and Puerto Rican fauna. He is also senior author, Coral Reefs of the Caribbean, Bahamas and Florida (MacMillan Educational 1998). Alfonso Silva Lee es bien conocido para los naturalistas. Educado en Rusia, en la Universidad Estatal de Moscú, inició su carrera de biólogo buceando -como ictiólogo marino- las aguas de su nativa Cuba. Esto incluyó una estancia en el laboratorio submarino Hydrolab, donde estudió, junto a otros científicos internacionales, los organismos que habitan las aguas caribeñas. El interés de Silva Lee por los animales terrestres comenzó hace 25 años, cuando empezó a observar las formas de vida que abundan en las Antillas Mayores y a escribir acerca de ellas, y poco después a fotografiarlas. Ha escrito diez libros acerca de estos temas y más de 50 artículos, científicos y populares. Él ha trabajado como biólogo en varias instituciones cubanas incluyendo el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural; el Instituto de Oceanología; el Zoológico Nacional; y el Acuario Nacional.
Sus libros recientes están Natural Cuba/Cuba natural (1996), Natural Puerto Rico/Puerto Rico natural y Coquí y sus Amigos: Los Animales de Puerto Rico (1998) de PANGAEA; y Coral Reefs of the Caribbean, Bahamas and Florida (1998) de MacMillan. Entre sus próximas publicaciones con PANGAEA está para año 2000, los calendarios de la fauna de Cuba y Puerto Rico.
