Along the riverbanks, the leafy forest canopy forms a giant open-air aviary. Black-collared hawks eye me silently as they scan the river for prey. Elegant coicoi herons glide by on their way to their rookery. A hoatzin bird, whose topknot resembles a Mohawk haircut, sends out an eerie call. Turquoise, bright yellow and green parrots engage in a fierce aerial battle over a seed. High in the leafy canopy, bushy-tailed saki-monkeys perform acrobatics in the tree tops, while tiny squirrel monkeys anxiously skitter along the tree trunks. As the morning sun clears the Amazon tree line, the curtain rises on one of the world's most dazzling wildlife spectacles. In the evening, another beautiful sunset touches the horizontal landscape, and the heavenly colours of the sunset allow a sense of oneness and tranquility. This books is recommended for the whole family, elementary and middle schools, community libraries, naturalists and collectors of the Amazon Exploration Series.

The Upper Amazonian jungle, rivers and tributaries of Peru, are filled with an incredible diversity of exotic land and freshwater animals such as Giant Otters, Giant Arapaima, Piranhas, Pink and Grey Dolphins, the Black Caiman, the Jaguar and the Anaconda snake. With any luck, the Amazon River should survive unchanged by humans for centuries to come, thus allowing the indigenous communities and the animals they live in harmony with to thrive. We must also preserve the Amazon River so future generations of scientists can continue to study natural evolution and the effects of global climate change. You can travel throughout the Amazon River following the circle of life captured by the author in this beautiful illustrated book. It is highly recommended for the entire family to read, learn and enjoy! This illustrated book even supports elementary and middle level school curriculum focusing on tropical aquatic river life and animal habitat.

A rainforest by definition is tropical woodland with lush vegetation and great biological diversity. It is an ecosystem with a delicate balance of life and is home to unique and exotic organisms such as Pink Dolphins, Giant Otters, Giant Turtles and Piranhas. The Amazon River affects the rainforest because the plants need the river! The indigenous people who live in the raiforest also need the river's water to sustain their livelihood. Thanks to the river, the Amazon rainforest is home to many different life forms including human beings. There are many groups of tribal people living in the Amazon rainforest, including the Yanomani and the Ashanikas who live off of what the forest can provide for them. This book is highly recommended for the whole family, for elementary and middle schools, community libraries, naturalists and collectors of the Amazon Exploration Series.
