Though it is best known as the home of Jim Jones' cult compound in Jamestown, Guyana is one of the smallest countries in the north east section of South America. Actually not so small when it comes to offering tourists and visitor attractions and enjoyment unheard of elsewhere. Tourists can enjoy the coastlines of the Caribbean or if they prefer they can relax comfortably in one of the countries modern hotels located anywhere along the coastline. Guyana is world known for its grand buildings which feature some very great and interesting architecture. Its boulevards are beautifully lined with many well trimmed tropical trees. These predominant features mark the influence that was brought into this area by the British colonization many years ago.
Over 80% of Guyana is covered by forests, ranging from dry evergreen and seasonal forests to evergreen rain forests. These forests contain over a thousand types of trees. Guyana's tropical climate, geology, and relatively pristine ecosystems support its rain forests and natural habitat. Over eight thousand kinds of plants grow in Guyana, many which are found anywhere else.
Guyana's biodiversity is unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Guyana, with 1,168 inventoried species of vertebrae has the greatest variety of mammals found in any comparable sized area of the world. The Guiana Shield area is little explored and very rich biologically. Over 70% of Guyana's natural habitat remains in pristine condition.
Guyana's most prominent tourist attractions and must see locations include the tall, wooden edifices. These structures have promoted the concept that the country actually has one of the tallest wooden buildings within the complete world. This building is none other then the world famous St. George's Cathedral.
Guyana is proud of their large rivers which serve as passage ways into its rich green rain forest and lush jungle areas. Demerara River, Berbice River and the Essequibo Rivers are but a few of the more prominent rivers found in this small country. You can sit in the local café and enjoy the sight of the Harpy Eagle or the beautifully decorated and colorful Toucans as they are widely noted around the local landscape and countryside. No where else on the earth are you afforded the opportunity to capture an exciting view of the elusive blue colored Cock of the Rock birds which are abundant around Kaieteur Falls. In fact, there are approximately 700 different species of birds which reside in the forest areas of Guyana. Finally, Guyana has some of the world's most famous water falls within its borders such as Mount Roraima Falls which has became an inspiration for the movie The Lost World, the Kaieteur Falls as well as the Orinduik Falls.
Nature scenery and nature adventures present themselves to those who dare to discover all the wonders that await them in the wonderful country of Guyana. For most eco-tourists this country may be considered one of the only places on earth where nature tends to deposit the majority of its natural treasures. Discover its many natural resources at its finest level by traveling to the various back locations in Guyana. It is easy for you to be close to Mother Nature though this rich wilderness area.

Reisen in Britisch-Guiana in Den Jahren 1840 1844: In Auftrag Sr. M Jestat Des K Nigs Von Preussen $48.43 Richard Schomburgk (1811-1891) accompanied his brother Robert Hermann Schomburgk on his mission to survey the boundary of British Guiana (his account is also reissued in this series). Richard was commissioned by the Prussian government to find new flora, fauna and ethnographical specimens for the Berlin Botanic Gardens and the royal museums. The publication in 1847-1848 in Germany of this three-volume account of the expedition was supported by Alexander von Humboldt, who was a close friend. The third volume especially was considered a major taxonomical work. Schomburgk contracted yellow fever, and found the preservation and transportation of his specimens difficult in the climate, many perishing before they got to Germany. Schomburgk later emigrated to Australia, becoming director of the Botanic Garden, Adelaide. Volume 1 covers the arrival in Guiana, and expeditions to the mouths of the Orinoco and Essequibo rivers. |

A Description of British Guiana, Geographical and Statistical: Exhibiting Its Resources and Capabilities, Together with the Pres $24.54 Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk (1804-1865) was a German-born surveyor and traveller. In 1835-1839 he explored British Guiana for the Royal Geographical Society. In 1840 he was appointed to define its boundaries with Brazil, as Brazilian encroachments were wiping out native tribes. His report to the Colonial Office was published as A Description of British Guiana, Geographical and Statistical in 1840, and was the first detailed account of the colony. As well as surveying the land, and being the first European to reach the source of the Essequibo River, he discovered many new species of plants. His work on the boundaries led to the establishment of the 'Schomburgk Line' which was the basis for the definition of the borders with Brazil and Venezuela at the end of the century. He was knighted in 1845, and spent much of the rest of his life abroad as a British consul. |

Rhadinoloricaria Macromystax $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rhadinoloricaria macromystax is the only species of the monotypic genus Rhadinoloricaria, a genus of the family Loricariidae of catfish (order Siluriformes). Rhadinoloricaria is part of the Pseudohemiodon group of the tribe Loricariini in the subfamily Loricariinae.

P. menezesi reaches a length of about 14 centimetres (5.5 in) SL.
