Dear subscribers to the CP list,
I am very pleased to announce that the book which I have been working on
for the last few years, "Nepenthes of Borneo", has now been published by
Natural History Publications in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The book
was officially launched here on November 28, by the Deputy Chief
Minister of the state of Sabah, YB Datuk Tham Nyip Shen.
The book has 207 pages and consists of 6 chapters which introduce and
describe Nepenthes plants, their ecology, the species of Borneo, the
natural hybrids and conservation issues. It is lavishly illustrated with
more than 100 colour photographs, taken by a team of very dedicated
photographers (and me!).
The aim has been to make "Nepenthes of Borneo" scientifically accurate,
but accessible to readers from all backgrounds with an interest in
natural history. Both a regular and a limited edition have been
produced: the limited edition of 750 copies comes with a lovely slip-in
case and is signed and numbered.
