As part of Interlink's Travellers' Wildlife Guides, this entry on Thailand focuses heavily on ecotourism, and how this discipline can lead to a more rewarding tour of the area's parks and preserves. Pearson (Arizona State U.) and Beletsky, a professional wildlife biologist, have included hundreds of photographs and illustrations identifying almost 600 common denizens of Thailand's rain forests, including insects and fish. This book has been designed to be both comprehensive and compact, so it will be easier for any ecotourist to bring it along on a hike or tour.
