Echoes of Nature

This book is Vol. 5 of the 19th Vol. of The Amazon Exploration Series. It is filled with real life colorful illustrations of the Amazon wild habitat. True enough, the Amazon is a beautiful wild habitat! It is not a zoo, its animals are not someone’s pets. It is a place where the indigenous people live a communal lifestyle; they share the meat from their hunt and the food they gathered from the forest. Indigenous tribes that remain in the “state of nature” are culturally intact, and they have roots that date back more than 10,000 years. They are the hunters and gatherers of the Amazon rain forest who have developed a superior balance and harmony with nature. Indigenous communities have no formal leaders but every extended family has a chief who speaks for the interests of all family members. There is also the Shaman—the spiritual leader of the community—that form a delicate social balance between the Shaman and the chiefs to maintain harmony among the villagers. This book is highly recommended for all family members, elementary and middle schools, naturalists, community libraries and collectors of The Amazon Exploration Series.
