National Museum of Natural History. Washington, D.C., U.S.A. February 1994. First edition; profusely illustrated with b/w photographs, text maps, graphs & tables. pictorial cardcovers; near fine. Rare. Caroline is a relatively untouched atoll with its native plant communities nearly intact on all but 3 islets, and teeming bird communities that, collectively are second in the Line Group only to Christmas Island (Kiribati) in diversity. For several historical reasons, the natural values of this spectacular blend of marine and terrestrial resources have been overlooked. |
