These priorities stand in stark contrast to colonial and contemporary exploitation of Amazonia by outside interests. With essays from environmental scientists, botanists, and anthropologists, this volume explores the various effects of human development on Amazonia. The contributors argue that by protecting and drawing on local knowledge and values, further environmental ruin can be avoided.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmContributor: Darrell A.
