Description for Trees, Truffles, and Beasts
paperback. Presents an opinion that we must understand the complexity and interdependency of species and habitats from the microscopic level to the gigantic. This book shows how easily observable species are part of a complicated infrastructure. It also shows that forests are far more complicated, which means simplistic policies will not save them. Num Pages: 288 pages, 42 colour & 67 b&w illustrations. BIC Classification: PSAF; RGBL. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 408.
