| Abstract
|
:
|
"In A Magic Web, photographer Christian Ziegler and ecologist Egbert Giles Leigh, Jr., invite readers to enter the marvelous world of Barro Colorado Island. This book is a combination of photography and text written by an active scientist who has spent half a lifetime trying to understand the tropical forest. Photographs of the forest reveal the wonderful diversity of its inhabitants, and show many of the activities that give it its character and lend structure to its community. Drawing on decades of work on Barro Colorado Island, Egbert Leigh explains how the forest works."--Jacket.
