In the second edition of Costa Rica: A Journey through Nature, Adrian Hepworth takes readers on a spectacular photographic journey through one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet.
Above a trail, a puma stands majestically on a tree limb surveying the forest below; an iridescent blue butterfly flutters through the air; the jewel-like feathers of a resplendent quetzal sparkle in a cloud forest; a female sea snake and her newly born offspring struggle across a beach under a relentless sun; and early morning light reveals a turtle spraying clouds of sand over its nest.
The dramatic images and fascinating text provide a remarkable account of wild animals in Costa Rica, their behavior, and the sublime landscapes that they inhabit.
