“The startling beauty of the photographs in these pages captures the elusive secret of Costa Rica’s charm. It is a book about living nature, an unsurpassed display of photographic artistry that reveals plants and animals in all of their glory―showing brilliant colors, fascinating postures, bizarre shapes, and intriguing behaviors. National Parks of Costa Rica transports the reader into the lives of tropical organisms and into the wonderful places where they are found. Costa Rica is a natural jewel, and this is a jewel of a book.”
