Summary

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.

Author Biography

Candace Slater is Marian E. Koshland Distinguished Professor and director of the Townsend Center for the Humanities at the University of California, Berkeley.
