A LOOK AT BOOKS

Explorers of the Amazon
by Anthony Smith. 1990.

University of Chicago Press, Chicago


Smith does a top-notch job capturing the adventure and excitement, the sacrifices, suffering, and heroism displayed by the men and women drawn to investigate and open the grandest river on the globe. Well researched and written, Smith’s book is an introduction to the history of a fabled region, and an adventure story as well.
