Synopsis

The coquí is a famous and very abundant little frog whose powerful voice fills the Puerto Rican nights. The island is home to over a dozen other species of tiny and beautiful frogs, and hundreds and hundreds of species of insects, snails, lizards and birds, many of which live nowhere else in the world.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alfonso Silva Lee is well-known to Caribbean naturalists. Russian-trained for graduate study at Moscow State University, he began his career in biology diving the seas of his native Cuba as an ichthyologist, specializing in marine life. His work included a stint in the U.S. Hydrolab, living beneath the Caribbean with international scientists to record the creatures and habitat that surrounded them. Silva's dedication to land creatures was initiated some 25 years ago as he began to observe, write about and photograph the life-forms that abound in the Greater Antilles. Author of ten books on the subjects--most for young people--and over 50 scientific and magazine articles, Silva has served with Cuban institutions including the National Museum of Natural History; Institute of Oceanology, Academy of Sciences; National Zoo; and National Aquarium.
