Wild Costa Rica - the wildlife and landscapes of Costa Rica
by Keith Betton in UK
New Holland has a tradition of publishing a great run of books with titles such as Wild India, Wild Malaysia and so on. All have stunning photographs and are created by an expert on the region. Adrian Hepworth is a British freelance wildlife photographer who has lived and worked in Costa Rica since 1993 and his work is very impressive.

Wild Costa Rica takes a similar approach to the previous titles by looking at the country's habitats and wildlife in sections. Firstly we are taken through rainforest, cloud forest and dry forest, followed by freshwater marshes and finally beaches - which make up a huge percentage of Costa Rica's 1300 km of coastline. We are then offered sections on each wildlife grouping - with 12 pages devoted to birds. There are also chapters on volcanoes and the highest mountain in Costa Rica - Mount Chirrip. There is also plenty of information on the country's national parks and nature reserves, and a section on conservation groups and current environmental projects.
