Take a brilliant photographer (Art Woolf), a brilliant botanist (Kew’s
Ghillean Prance) and put them to work. Result? Rainforests of the
World—something wonderful to put not only on the coffee table but on the
bookshelf. Most memorable? It’s the odd pairings that mirror each other across a
spread—a coiled millipede and a fern’s curled leaf bud, the heart of an
orchid and the face of a tree-climbing porcupine. Published by Harvill,
£30, ISBN 186046582X.
