Indonesian Eden. Aceb's Rainforest. 1990. numerous full colour plates. 111 p. 4to. Cloth.
Sumatra, the westernmost of the major islands of Indonesia, is just a part of what was once a great expanse of land extending southeast from present-day Malaysia and Indochina. Rainforests of extraordinary richness and diversity flourish in Sumatra, the product of over 100 million years of natural development. Some areas of these forests are so remote that they have rarely been explored by man. In his sumptuous new book, Michael Griffiths reveals the results of several years spent photographing the wildlife of the island's rainforests.
