Amazon-the river of mystery The Amazon is known to everyone as one of the world's great waterways. Its interest and allure is enhanced because it is also in one of our planet's most mysterious regions. The Amazon jungle is massive, often dense and impenetrable and occupies huge portions of the South American continent-very much 'the New World' and one of the last places on earth to feel the impact of Western civilization. Even today it hides its secrets well and we know that there are likely to be more hidden tribes, fauna, flora and archaeological sites yet to be discovered. This exotic landscape was first invaded by Europeans in the 15th century and the events of those tragic and turbulent times as Europeans collided with the ancient civilizations established there are recorded within the pages of this book. The exploration of the great Amazon continues today, and Amazonia entrances explorers and travellers alike, just as it has done for almost 500 years. This is an interesting account of one of our last frontiers and is recommended for your reading pleasure. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
