This book is from the collection of Thomas Lovejoy. Dr. Lovejoy was an influential ecologist, field biologist, and activist; former head of the Amazon Biodiversity Center, World Wildlife Fund, and Advisor to the United Nations and Smithsonian Institution. He is credited with introducing the term 'biological diversity' to the main stream environmental movement. In addition, he was a passionate collector of books on the natural world. He died in 2021 and we are very excited to present a selection of his books. Please browse the entire catalog here on ABE or contact us for instructions on how to get to it. Lovejoy's name is not in this book, but the handwritten title on the spine may well be his addition. This book comes with a card stating provenance, with a picture of Lovejoy.
