One River by Wade Davis
Explorations and Discoveries in the Amazon Rain Forest
A lyrical, deeply researched account that traces the adventures and discoveries of a pioneering ethnobotanist in the Amazon, interweaving field biography, history and the author’s own journeys as he retraces those explorations; it chronicles encounters with indigenous peoples and their botanical knowledge—particularly medicinal and psychoactive plants—while reflecting on the loss of cultures and biodiversity to modern forces and arguing for the urgency of preserving traditional ecological wisdom.
