this is a great book for anyone interested.
Hi i'm barnaby pace although richard pace is my uncle i am not biased in saying this is a great book. i had a fab time reading this book. he provided me just as a kid an in-detail idea of amazon life. i'm certain it's correct as i know how much work he did to publish this book. so it is a great read anytime.

The book is well-researched, relevant, and easily read.
Dr. Pace did an excellent job of making current anthropological issues in the Amazon available in a clear, concise and easily digested book. I especially enjoyed the simplicity with which the intricate web of economics, ecology, poloitics, and class issues was detailed. The book is loaded with information gathered from local inhabitants from rural peasants to urban politicians. Sufficient background is provided to make sense of current issues and help in understanding the processes at work in the Amazon.
