Description: Journey from the icy peaks of the Andes to the vast, pulsing heart of the world's greatest river system. This sweeping exploration traces the Amazon's remarkable path—through the dramatic confluence of the Meeting of Waters, beneath the layered green cathedral of the rainforest, and into the daily lives of the indigenous communities who have called its banks home for millennia. Along the way, readers discover the river's extraordinary aquatic wildlife, its rhythmic seasonal floods, and the mounting conservation pressures threatening one of Earth's most vital ecosystems. A richly textured portrait of a river that shapes a continent.
