From the Inside Flap:
ama land bridge between North and South America formed three million years ago, plants and animals surged back and forth in the Great American Biotic Interchange, an evolutionary cross-fertilization that has created one of the world's richest and most fascinating environments. The Monkey's Bridge is the story of Central America's role as an evolutionary link between continents. This critically acclaimed exploration combines vivid travel writing, reflections on landscape and culture, and meditations on the ecosystems unique to this region.
From the Back Cover:

--Kirkus
"The Monkey's Bridge deserves a wide audience.... The Central America here unveiled is a 'sublime evolutionary spectacle,' a bridge between worlds and a constant reminder of the fluidity and impermanence of life on earth."
