Except the first chaptre, about the evolution of the forest by geologic times, all is perfect.I use this book in my class - Geography of Brazil and the students love it. (...)

What can I say? It's great!,
By Randy Holman (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Broadax and Firebrand: The Destruction of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Centennial Book) (Paperback)
Having actually lived in the country and visited the Amazon rain forest, this depiction of the destruction of the Atlantic rainforest and the effects there is highly factual and rather interesting. It is one of the only successful ecological histories about a forest! If you want a good read about the disappearance of one of Brazil's most historical aspects, then this book is for you.

Impressive environmental history of Brazil,
By Felipe M Pait (pait@lac.usp.br) (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Broadax and Firebrand: The Destruction of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Centennial Book) (Paperback)
This book is bound to change your view of Brazilian history, and of environmental history. A must read for anyone interested in either. A good Portuguese language translation is available.
