Views from the Ridge: Exploring the Natural History of Trinidad

For over 50 years, Julian Kenny explored the reefs and ridges, the mountains and shores, of Trinidad and Tobago, recording the islands’ habitats and species with camera and notebook.

Views from the Ridge is a concise but comprehensive account of the country’s ecosystems, accompanied by over 100 colour photographs of its plants and animals. More than simply a textbook of species, this is an appreciation of the rich and complex web of life that exists on two islands in the southern Caribbean. The final chapter pleads for greater awareness of the need for conservation and sustainability.
