Adrian Hepworth’s Costa Rica: A Journey through Nature takes readers on a spectacular photographic journey through one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet. Above a trail, a puma stands majestically on a tree limb surveying the forest below; an iridescent blue butterfly flutters through the air; the jewel-like feathers of a resplendent quetzal sparkle in a cloud forest; a female sea snake and her newly born offspring struggle across a beach under a relentless sun; and early morning light reveals a turtle spraying clouds of sand over its nest. The second edition of this book includes over 100 new photographs, new maps, a new introduction, and updated text throughout. Bringing together dramatic images and informative descriptions, this book provides a remarkable account of wild animals in Costa Rica, their behavior, and the sublime landscapes that they inhabit.

[T]here is a place for this book, to win the hearts and minds of visitors and start them off on their journey into tropical nature. Hepworth draws attention to the major threats facing pictured species, and he duly warns tourists to beware of green business mimics and disreputable tourist operations, listing the websites of trustworthy conservation organizations to counter the hype that may confuse the unwary traveler. -- Ronnie Hawkins * Biological Conservation *
