A Rain Forest Dilemma

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Rick Johnson is apprehensive because his graduate committee in anthropology has sent him deep into the South American rain forest to do research. Far up river, in the Valley of Bad Spirits, he's captured by a strange group called the Euromamo. They hold strikingly unusual views on sex, marriage, politics, warfare, religion, sports, wealth, and inheritance. Prior to Rick's arrival, they developed and preserved their cultural values by zealously guarding the privacy of their village from modern society. Their peaceful way of life is now threatened by his presence. The Euromamo would be great to write about, Rick knows, and would likely generate scholarly and public interest, but that's his dilemma. His written work would rend the veil of privacy that the Euromamo have so carefully constructed and maintained over many years. They'd be swarmed by manufacturers, advertisers, anthropologists, and adventurers who would destroy the private life they've chosen. However, if he doesn't write his dissertation, he won't achieve his dream of becoming a college professor. This is a grim prospect after having risked his life to do his research. What decision will he make?
