A fascinating chronicle of ethnobotanical adventure amidst a vanishing forest, this is the story of three scientists - RE Schultes, the dean of ethnobotany, and his students, Tim Plowman and Wade Davis - who, over the course of several decades, explored the Amazon Basin, studying what the Indians knew of the rainforest, and trying to learn some of these secrets before both the Indians and the rainforest disappeared. The book is both an elergy to irredeemable loss and a celebration of the diversity of the plant-life and culture of the Amazon.
