In our minds the Caribbean is the embodiment of Paradise. We need
only close our eyes to see clearly the sparkling turquoise waters,
white beaches, and lush tropical forests. Yet hidden just beyond
this familiar scene is another world--the wild Caribbean, where
attentive travelers may encounter butterflies with see-through
wings or colorful bird colonies, prehistoric iguanas or silver
waterfalls, smoking volcanoes or secret orchids in the forest. This
book is a gorgeously illustrated exploration and celebration of the
wildlife and wild places of the Caribbean. It encompasses all the
principal islands as well as the mainland areas bordering the Sea,
and its Gazetteer is crammed with useful tips to help travelers
choose locations to visit and the best time of year to do so. The
book introduces diverse natural habitats--reefs; white, pink, and
black sand beaches; underground caverns; mangroves; salt ponds;
desert islands, bubbling sulfur springs; and more--and offers rare
insights into the amazingly varied animals and plants of the wild
Caribbean. Combining practical travel information with fascinating
scientific facts, "Wild Caribbean" reveals a natural world more
magical than we could have imagined. Active travelers and armchair
tourists alike will find the volume irresistible. - A companion
volume to the four-part television series appearing on the Travel
Channel.
