About this book

Language: Bilingual in English and Portuguese

Resulting from a research paper, observation and experience, Primatas no Brasil describes all of Brazil's primates. The work, which is sponsored by Tetra Pak, through the Federal Law on Cultural Incentives (Rouanet Law No. 8.313 / 91) of the Ministry of Culture, is the only editorial registration in the country on the subject. Richly illustrated, the book features 200 colour photographs by Luciane Salete Panisson, Adriana Cruz and Fabio Colombini, and 200 colour illustrations by Tomas Sigrist.

Divided into four parts, this book is a fantastic introduction to the pimates that inhabit Brazil's forests.

Summary in Portuguese:
De valor artístico, Primatas no Brasil: Cada Macaco no Seu Galho apresenta, com ricas imagens e ilustrações, os caminhos trilhados pelas diferentes espécies encontradas em nossos biomas e a relação delas com o homem e a natureza, além de suas ameaças e exemplos de conservação.

Fruto de um trabalho de pesquisa, observação e vivência, a Avis Brasilis lança Primatas no Brasil: Cada Macaco no Seu Galho, de autoria de Cristina Rappa, Heloisa Turini Bruhns e Lívia Botár. A obra, que tem o patrocínio da Tetra Pak, por meio da Lei Federal de Incentivo à Cultura (Lei Rouanet nº 8.313/91) do Ministério da Cultura, é o único registro editorial no País sobre o assunto. Ricamente ilustrado, o livro conta com 200 fotografias de Luciane Salete Panisson, Adriana Cruz e Fabio Colombini, além de 200 ilustrações de Tomas Sigrist.

Dividida em quatro partes, a publicação convida o leitor a viajar nesse universo por meio de um passeio na floresta, ativando e estimulando os sentidos a fim de explorar detalhes e atentar-se às curiosidades dos macacos que habitam nossas matas. Sendo assim, no primeiro capítulo, o viajante depara-se com um diálogo entre a natureza e a cultura e como isso é determinante na relação que estabelecemos com o mundo natural e com os animais.
