Black cloth binding w/gilt outlined panel on spine, gilt titles within. Bright and colorful jacket illustration. The Amazon Rain Forest has become an internationally known symbol of the struggle between the forces of destruction, acting in the name of progress, and the forces of tradition, acting to preserve a way of life and an irreplaceable resource. Chico Mendes was at the heart of this struggle and was brutally murdered in 1998. He has become synonymous with the plight of the Amazonian people. "Into the Amazon" is the revealing story of the people who live in the forest: the rubber tappers, river people, small landholders, and natives and an account of the struggle for survival they face. 250 pages. 6.25 x 9.4 inches.
