I'm scheduled to teach an introductory seminar on global biomes later this 
fall, and I could use some advice on recent books that give a good overview of 
the topic.

    So far the only book on biomes I've been able to find is Woodward's "Biomes 
of Earth," from about a dozen years ago, but I'm dubious about this one.  It 
provides a reasonable overview of major biomes, but the text is riddled with 
spelling errors on nearly every page, and the clear lack of editorial rigor 
makes me wonder about the content.

    Can anyone recommend a more recent book on the topic?  Please send me any 
suggestions off-list, with my thanks in advance.

                                                                                
                              - J. A.
