Jacques Cousteau’s Amazon Journey

“” … In addition to the amazing natural life of the Amazon, the book explores the remarkable human stories of the region – native groups who were headhunters yesterday and are guiding tourists today, men possessed with gold fever who risk their lives in daily quests for precious nuggets, poachers who kill exquisite alligators for the fancy-shoe trade. These stories and more – coupled with over 250 superb color photographs – make a wonderfully readable narrative, an investigation of one of the most beautiful and bountiful yet fr4agile wildernesses on earth.’
