Christmas Island Naturally: The Natural History of an Isolated Oceanic Island, the Australian Territory of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean by H S Gray

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

Born as a massive submarine volcano, growing thousands of metres to the ocean surface, encrusted, polyp by polyp, by stony coral, repeatedly submerged and uplifted, colonised by an unusual and unique array of plants and animals and continuing on a slow side towards and inevitable dive into the Java Trench., Christmas Island has provided a setting for the dynamic interplays of nature over millions of years.
