Wade Davis 
One River [EPUB ebook] 
Explorations and Discoveries in the Amazon Rain Forest

From the author of INTO THE SILENCE, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction In 1941, Richard Evans Schultes took a leave of absence from Harvard University and disappeared into the Northern Amazon of Colombia. The world s leading authority on the hallucinogens and medicinal plants of the region, he returned after twelve years of travelling through South America in a dug-out canoe, mapping uncharted rivers, living among local tribes and documenting the knowledge of shamans. Thirty years later, his student Wade Davis landed in Bogota to follow in his mentor s footsteps so creating an epic tale of undaunted adventure, a compelling work of natural history and a testament to the spirit of scientific exploration.
