Foreword
…..Here is an easy-to-use resource for identifying plants and animals found within Brunei Darussalam. This very readable book is a welcomed resource for students, teachers and anyone wanting to know the names of plants and animals and where to find them. Although Brunei Darussalam is a small country, it contains a rich diversity of plants and animals. This book will enable people to recognise and appreciate this huge variety. It highlights the beauty in what we take for granted. The many photographs and cartoons, together with the clear text, make learning about Brunei Darussalam’s plants and animals enjoyable and entertaining….

Reviews:
…It will interest students, teachers, undergraduates, homemakers, policy makers, business people etc., i.e. anyone who opens this book. ….. I was delighted to see the beautiful pitcher plants of Brunei given a whole chapter as they grow well there….I am impressed with the content of this book and the photographers are to be commended for the quality photographs. The line illustrations add an appropriate touch of humour. This book is highly readable and the authors are to be congratulated for their labour of love….
