Items related to The Amazon, 2nd: The Bradt Travel Guide
The Amazon is one of the most exotic, mythical, and famous regions of the globe and the ultimate destination for explorers. Much of the region remains incompletely charted, while the discovery of new species in the Amazon jungle makes it the best place on earth to observe the wonders and diversity of evolution first-hand. A detailed, illustrated natural history section is dedicated to the secret life of Amazon plants, animals of the "Emerald Forest", and the water world of the river basin. Under constant battle against commercial encroachment, travelers are advised how to keeping their own impact on The Amazon to a minimum with guidelines on eco-tourism. A thorough background on the indigenous tribes and settlers helps provide a complete understanding of the region's peoples.
