Follow the story. Live the experience. One man's photographic journey through the rainforests of the world. This popular reference is 16+ years in the making, packed with spectacular photographs from Thomas Marent, a self-taught photographer who has dedicated half his life to capturing images of rainforest life. Travel across 5 continents for an up-close view of the astonishing variety and fascinating behaviour of rainforest plants and trees, reptiles, birds, amphibians, insects, and mammals.

Rainforests are the most complex, productive, dynamic and diverse places on Earth, yet more is known about our Universe than the estimated 10 million plant and animal species that teem inside these great hothouses of life. DK's Rainforestprovides a glimpse inside these mysterious realms with a selection of photographs by nature photographer Thomas Marent, whose amazing eye for detail, colour, and light bring the beauty and majesty of the rainforest vividly to life on every page. The expertly written text - narrative, captions, and the stories behind the photographs - is as creative and informative as the images.

Rainforestis arranged thematically into six sections that explore and explain all aspects of life in the rainforest and the ways in which different life forms attack, defend, reproduce, communicate, and live together.
