Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Amazon is a land of superlatives. The complex ecosystem covers an area about the size of the continental U.S. The Amazon River discharges 57 million gallons of water per second - in two hours, this would be enough to supply all of New York City's 7.5 million residents with water for a year. Its flora and fauna are abundant. Approximately one of every four flowering plant species on earth resides in the Amazon.

The Amazon offers an engaging overview of this irreplaceable ecosystem and the challenges it faces.…
