      Tropický deštný prales hostí neuvěřitelně pestrou společnost živých organizmů. V tomto nejbohatším prostředí, jaké známe, vládne tak tvrdá konkurence, že dokonce i stromy musí pomocí toxických látek podnikat úhybné manévry k odrazení hmyzích škůdců. Je to svět, kde maskování, pachy, zvuky, jedy a bezpočet dalších přizpůsobení udržují křehkou rovnováhu mezi životem a smrtí. Přehledně zpracované informace a poznatky doplňuje téměř 200 barevných fotografií.
