And I find it heart-wrenching to not only read of the encroachment on their environment (and the loss of habitat in the process), but the loss of their cultures and languages. Tragic, yet beautiful all at once.<br /><br />Please count me in.

They should put this review on the book's website and a snippet on the back cover. <br /><br />I have always been fascinated with animals and nature since I was about 5 or 6. If I had the money and health for it I would go work at Jane Goodall's Institute or go on about a dozen safaris and trek through the mountains and jungles. I have seen some pretty crazy documentaries on the state of the Amazon River, the Rainforest, and the people and tribes in South America. I don't remember what it was called but there was a documentary on how Chevron destroyed the water supply for a lot of people. If you can find it, you should watch it.<br /><br />I would love to win and read this book. It sounds both heart-wrenching and inspiring.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-52883684027366718052012-08-19T10:01:16.076-05:002012-08-19T10:01:16.076-05:00Your review was pretty damn awesome, Ryan!

I don't understand why anyone needs to bother them or force them to be "worldly." And because of this the Amazon is threatened and for what? GREED on so many sides except for the tribes that tread lightly on their homeland.<br /><br />stacijoreads@gmail.comStacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-36447405448781172602012-08-18T21:47:18.536-05:002012-08-18T21:47:18.536-05:00Thanks for the giveaway!
