Nepstad, Woods Hole Research Center Ecology This excellent book is the first in English to focus entirely on the Brazilian cerrados biome... The editors and authors have succeeded in their hope to write a book that will aid and foster future cerrados research. -- Noel B. Pavlovic, U.S. Geological Survey Plant Science Bulletin The book provides an interesting and detailed review of our current understanding of the cerrados... A great accomplishment. Southeastern Naturalist The Cerrados of Brazil is one of the few general works in English about the cerrados and the only major one... to be written primarily by a large group of Brazilian scientists.

The work is of consistently high quality throughout and well documented. -- G. F. Guala Plant Systematics and Evolution This is an excellent book and highly recommended for economic-botanists.
