Medicine Man,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mysteries of the Rain Forest: 20th Century Medicine Man (The New Explorers) (Library Binding)
This book really makes you think about what we are doing to our tropical rainforests and why we need to do more to protect them. This book makes you feel like you are actually in the forest with the medicine man when you are reading it.
