Description: "A straightforward look at modern Amazonia. Some interesting details are that the region is settled and is not homogeneous; Amazonia displays enormous biodiversity and many natural resources. Despite strategies for sustainable development of the basin, there has been a considerable impact on nature and society to date. Detailed maps show native populations, reserves, and parks. Concludes with an appeal for the development of the region"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
