Entangled Edens: Visions of the Amazon

by Candace Slater

Book Overview

A fascinating interrogation of stories and writings about the Amazon, by insiders (Indians, miners) and outsiders (explorers, scientists). Slater argues that these tales, examined together, show us an Amazon much more complex than "Save the Rain Forest" slogans--a vision that will allow us to save the Amazon in all its human and biological diversity.
