Description:

Over the last sixty years, legendary explorer Charles Brewer-Carías has led more than 200 expeditions to the Lost Worlds (Venezuela’s Tepuy mountains), during which he has been accompanied by more than 250 specialists representing various scientific disciplines.

Known as the “Humboldt of the twentieth century”, no one in history has explored more of the Tepuys than Charles. He has discovered and named dozens of new species of plants and animals (and additionally, around 27 species from the Tepuys are named in his honour). His discoveries also include the sink holes of Cerro Sarisariñama and the world’s largest known quartzite cave, Cueva Charles Brewer.

The culmination of a lifetime of exploration and study, this breath-taking book explores the plant life of one of the most biologically rich, geologically ancient parts of the world.

Featuring over 464 spectacular images of the diverse plant life of the Tepuys - including many species depicted in print for the first time - this colossal work is a seminal botanical study.
