At a time when climate change is on the minds of scientists, policy makers, and the general public, there is a need for careful, objective documentation of the nature and magnitude of the changes that are already occurring. Glaciers on the high mountains of the low latitudes are sensitive indicators of climatic and environmental change. Near the Equator, ice is still found in East Africa, the Ecuadorian Andes, and New Guinea. Explorations over a century have included measurements of precipitation, net balance and ice flow velocity, mappings of areal extent and surface topography, and terrestrial and airborne photography and satellite imagery.Photographs by the author and by others prior to 1980 have been reproduced in two books, but in limited quality and availability. More photography has been conducted since then, in part incorporated into a report on Mount Kenya by the author. The Mountain Club of Kenya, Nikunj Shah and Kazahara Mizuno sent the author additional photographs from Mount Kenya; Konrad Steffen, Georg Kaser, Doug Hardy and Nils Wiklund provided recent pictures from Kilimanjaro, and Bernard Francou provided photos from El Altar, Antisana and Cotopaxi in Ecuador. Bolivar Caceres provided data on recent ice extent in the Ecuadorian Andes. Ian Allison and James Peterson contributed photographs from New Guinea.The almost 200 photographs, maps, and charts from all of the above sources have been compiled into a single comprehensive volume covering the period from the late 1800s to the present. It therefore serves as a one-of-a-kind archival record of the physical extent and appearance of the major glaciers still found in the equatorial zone, some of which could disappear over the next decades.Recession of Equatorial Glaciers: A Photo Documentation belongs in any academic or research library serving the glaciology, geography, and climate science communities.

J. L. Gressitt New Guinea is a fantastic island, unique and fascinating. It is an area of incredible variety of geomorphology, biota, peoples, languages, history, tradi tions and cultures. Diversity is its prime characteristic, whatever the subject of interest. To a biogeographer it is tantalizing, as well as confusing or frustrating when trying to determine the history of its biota. To an ecologist, and to all biologists, it is a happy hunting ground of endless surprises and unanswered questions. To a conservationist it is like a dream come true, a "flash-back" of a few centuries, as well as a challenge for the future. New Guinea is so special that it is hard to compare it with other islands or tropical areas. It is something apart, with its very complicated history (chapters I: 2-4, II: 1-4, III: I, VI: I, 2). It is partly old but to a great extent very young, yet extremely rich and complex. It has biota of different sources - to such a degree that it is still disputed in this volume as to what Realm it belongs to: the Paleotropical or Notogaean (Australian); or what Region: Oriental, "Oceanic," Papuan or Australian. The terms Papuasian, Indo-Australian and Australasian also have been applied to the area.

An enthralling exploration of the biologically richest island on Earth, featuring more than 200 spectacular color images by award-winning National Geographic photographer Tim Laman In this beautiful book, Bruce Beehler, a renowned author and expert on New Guinea, and award-winning National Geographic photographer Tim Laman take the reader on an unforgettable journey through the natural and cultural wonders of the world's grandest island. Skillfully combining a wealth of information, a descriptive and story-filled narrative, and more than 200 stunning color photographs, the book unlocks New Guinea's remarkable secrets like never before. Lying between the Equator and Australia's north coast, and surrounded by the richest coral reefs on Earth, New Guinea is the world's largest, highest, and most environmentally complex tropical island—home to rainforests with showy rhododendrons, strange and colorful orchids, tree-kangaroos, spiny anteaters, ingenious bowerbirds, and spectacular birds of paradise. New Guinea is also home to more than a thousand traditional human societies, each with its own language and lifestyle, and many of these tribes still live in isolated villages and serve as stewards of the rainforests they inhabit. Accessible and authoritative, New Guinea provides a comprehensive introduction to the island's environment, animals, plants, and traditional rainforest cultures. Individual chapters cover the island's history of exploration; geology; climate and weather; biogeography; plantlife; insects, spiders, and other invertebrates; freshwater fishes; snakes, lizards, and frogs; birdlife; mammals; paleontology; paleoanthropology; cultural and linguistic diversity; surrounding islands and reefs; the pristine forest of the Foja Mountains; village life; and future sustainability. Complete with informative illustrations and a large, detailed map, New Guinea offers an enchanting account of the island's unequalled natural and cultural treasures.
