Binding tight; boards clean; dust jacket pristine. Quoting the publisher's note: The vast Amazon rain forest, the largest in the world, was opened in 1970 by the Trans-amazon Highway to farmers, ranchers, miners, and other individual developers. Some experts predicted the homesteading programs established by the Brazilian government to be the acid test of the poetential of the humid tropics for intensive cultivation. Never before had such vast capital and human resources been mobilized to create in tropical lowlands a small farm sector with planned communities to provide needed shelter and services for the influx of new colonists. This unique experiment was virtually abandoned four years later when Brazilian authorities encouraged large-scale developers to use the land. Size: 24 x 16 x 3 cm. 0.0.
