Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark on an awe-inspiring journey into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where adventure and discovery converge in a quest for a hidden city lost to time. In "The Amazon Expedition: A Search for a Hidden City," you'll become a part of an extraordinary adventure led by a diverse team of explorers and indigenous tribes. Deep within the world's largest tropical rainforest lies a mystery that has tantalized the imagination for centuries-a fabled city, Yseldora, hidden amidst the lush foliage and ancient trees. This enigmatic place, rumored to hold not only untold riches but also profound wisdom, has remained concealed from the modern world, guarded by the spirits of the jungle. Follow the intrepid expedition team, each member possessing unique skills and knowledge, as they navigate treacherous rivers, untamed wilderness, and face the perils of the rainforest. Alongside them are indigenous guides who bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern exploration, offering insights into the spiritual significance of the jungle and the interconnectedness of all life within it. Through immersive storytelling, you'll experience the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon-the cacophony of wildlife, the vibrant flora, and the lush landscapes that stretch endlessly before you. You'll encounter rare and elusive creatures, witness the resilience of indigenous tribes, and witness the power of unity among people of diverse backgrounds. But this journey is not just an adventure; it's a mission to protect the Amazon and its fragile balance. As the team uncovers the secrets of Yseldora and the wisdom of the lost civilization, they will confront ruthless adversaries who seek to exploit the rainforest's resources. Betrayal, danger, and a relentless battle to protect the Hidden City will test their courage and resolve. "The Amazon Expedition" is a compelling narrative that delves into the mysteries of the rainforest, the importance of biodiversity, and the enduring connection between humanity and nature. It showcases the legacy of a team that defied the odds to safeguard the Amazon's future, and it beckons readers to become stewards of this vital ecosystem. Join the expedition, immerse yourself in the heart of the jungle, and discover the profound legacy of those who dared to venture into the unknown. "The Amazon Expedition: A Search for a Hidden City" is a testament to the wonders of the natural world, the resilience of indigenous cultures, and the unyielding determination to protect one of Earth's greatest treasures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon is a land of superlatives. The complex ecosystem covers an area about the size of the continental U.S. The Amazon River discharges 57 million gallons of water per second--in two hours, this would be enough to supply all of New York City's 7.5 million residents with water for a year. Its flora and fauna are abundant. Approximately one of every four flowering plant species on earth resides in the Amazon. A single Amazonian river may contain more fish species than all the rivers in Europe combined. It is home to the world's largest anteater, armadillo, freshwater turtle, and spider, as well as the largest rodent (which weighs over 200 lbs.), catfish (250 lbs.), and alligator (more than half a ton). The rainforest, which contains approximately 390 billion trees, plays a vital role in stabilizing the global climate by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide--or releasing it into the atmosphere if the trees are destroyed. Severe droughts in both Brazil and Southeast Asia have been linked to Amazonian deforestation, as have changing rainfall patterns in the U.S., Europe, and China. The Amazon also serves as home to millions of people. Approximately seventy tribes of isolated and uncontacted people are concentrated in the western Amazon, completely dependent on the land and river. These isolated groups have been described as the most marginalized peoples in the western hemisphere, with no voice in the decisions made about their futures and the fate of their forests. In this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, ecologist and conservation expert, Mark J. Plotkin, who has spent 40 years studying Amazonia, its peoples, flora, and fauna. The Amazon offers an engaging overview of this irreplaceable ecosystem and the challenges it faces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon -that name was given to the biggest river on earth and is often used for the whole area of its basin too. This geographical region is currently referred to as Amazonia, thus emphasizing the peculiar character of its aquatic and terrestrial reaches. The Amazon embodied the dream of many a naturalist to explore what for a long time was a terra incognita. In recent years, however, Amazonia has emerged as a main centre for 'development' by some of the countries in which it lies and by foreign industrialized nations. The development projects and enterprises have aroused woridwide interest and have given rise to discussions on their aims and their consequences to the Amazonian nature. Limnological and ecological investigations in Amazonia started only about 40 years ago. The editor had the good fortune to partake in them from the very beginning. He spent his decisive years in Amazonia, and dedicated his life's work to that research and to that country and the Amazonian people. Nearing the end of his scicntific activities, hc is gratcful to bc ablc to summarizc in this book most of the knowledge we possess at present of Amazonian limnology and landscape ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating and unique look at these celebrated expeditions. Ed Stafford knows all too well how important an explorer’s kit can be and this brilliant book gives great insight into the role it plays.” —Sir Ranulph Fiennes In this unique and enthralling book, explorer and survivalist Ed Stafford curates 25 great expeditions through the lens of the kit these remarkable explorers took with them. In an environment where lack of preparation could mean certain death, the equipment carried, ridden and sailed into uncharted territories could mean the success or failure of an expedition. Was it simply a case of better provisions and preparation that helped Amundsen beat Scott to the South Pole? And how has the equipment taken to Everest changed since Hillary’s first ascent? Through carefully curated photographs and specially commissioned illustrations we can see at a glance the scale, style and complexity of the items taken into the unknown by the greatest explorers of all time, and the impact each item had on their journey. How it potentially saved a life, or was purely for comfort or entertainment, and how these objects of survival have evolved and adapted as science advances, and we plunge further into the extremes. Conquering fears and mountains, adversity and wild jungles, each item these explorers flew, pulled or hauled played a crucial role in their ambitious and dangerous missions to find out a little more about our world. Through each of these objects, we can gain a better understanding ourselves. Get an intimate view of these and more amazing expeditions: Roald Amundsen, race to the Pole: Norwegian expedition (snowshoes, Primus stove, piano, violin, gramophone…) Amelia Earhart, first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean (Bendix radio direction finder, parachutes, emergency life raft, rouge…) Tim Slessor, first overland from London to Singapore (machetes, crowbar, typewriter, Remington dry shaver, tea…) Nellie Bly, around the world in 72 days (Mumm champagne, accordion, silk waterproof wrap, dark gloves…)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In his long career of exploration and scholarship, Hemming has become a powerful advocate for the Amazon.”—The New York Times, John Hemming Amazonia is one of the most magnificent habitats on earth. Containing the world’s largest river, with more water and a broader basin than any other, it hosts a great expanse of tropical rain forest, home to the planet’s most luxuriant biological diversity. The human beings who settled in the region 10,000 years ago learned to live well with its bounty of fish, game, and vegetation. It was not until 1500 that Europeans first saw the Amazon, and, unsurprisingly, the rain forest’s unique environment has attracted larger-than-life personalities through the centuries. John Hemming recalls the adventures and misadventures of intrepid explorers, fervent Jesuit ecclesiastics, and greedy rubber barons who enslaved thousands of Indians in the relentless quest for profit. He also tells of nineteenth-century botanists, fearless advocates for Indian rights, and the archaeologists and anthropologists who have uncovered the secrets of the Amazon’s earliest settlers. Hemming discusses the current threat to Amazonia as forests are destroyed to feed the world’s appetite for timber, beef, and soybeans, and he vividly describes the passionate struggles taking place in order to utilize, protect, and understand the Amazon.
