Book Description

4 and upWhat Do We Know About...? (Bedrick)

Who are the Indians of the Amazonian rainforest?

Do they grow their own food? Do they live in houses?

br>Are the rainforests of the Amazon in danger?

br>What is happening to the Amazonian Indians today?

This new series takes an exciting look at history and culture through everyday lives of people from a great civilization. Using color photographs and detailed illustrations of cultural objects, each book helps young people ask questions and draw their own conclusions from the evidence.

Anna Lewington, the author, has studied Latin American Anthropology and carried out research work in the Amazon and is a consultant to the world Wide fund for nature.



Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-A highly pictorial introduction to the cultures of the Amazonian Indians. The chapter headings are in the form of broad questions that are then answered on double-page entries that cite specific tribes as examples and provide excellent-quality, full-color photographs and drawings. The maps, however, are poorly labeled, inaccurate, or incomplete. A timeline compares Amazonian events from ancient times to the present in relation to what was happening in North America, Europe, and elsewhere around the world. Aspects of the Indians' daily lives such as fishing, gardening, and hunting and the introduction of Western foods into their diets are described. A one-page glossary defines such local terms as manioc, tipiti, and garimpeiros. A culturally sensitive but not outstanding treatment.
