Imaginations will soar from the forest floor, up through the canopy and back down again, following the circle of life in this clever adaptation of the song The Green Grass Grew All Around. The jungle comes alive as children learn about a wide variety of the animals (jaguars, emerald tree boas, leafcutter ants, sloths, poison dart frogs, toucans, and bats) and plants (kapok trees, liana vines, and bromeliads) living in the lush Amazon rainforest. Search each page to find rainforest bugs and butterflies hiding in the illustrations.

The rainforest is the richest wildlife habitat on earth, and "World of Wonder: Rainforest Animals" is an excellent introduction to the many fascinating creatures to be found there. In question-and-answer format, it addresses the questions that children are likely to ask: what does a jaguar eat? Can frogs live in trees? Do people live in rainforests? And, most importantly, Will there always be rainforests? Marvellously detailed illustrations by Carolyn Scrace show creatures small and large, and give an idea of how they fit into this unique environment. Two spreads have been designed with an ace

This provocative book documents how national and global politics intersected to bring about changes in Brazil’s environmental preservation laws. Luiz Barbosa argues that global forces coupled with two decades of military rule in Brazil led to policies that promoted deforestation for the sake of development, ultimately having devastating consequences for Amaz(tm)nia’s ecosystem and its native populations. By the mid-1980s, changes in global ecopolitics and the onset of democracy in Brazil paved the way for new environmental preservation laws. Barbosa’s study is unique in showi
