3.0 out of 5 stars Amazonian Ecology, June 23, 2000

This review is from: Through Amazonian Eyes: The Human Ecology of Amazonian Populations (Paperback)

Emilio Moran's book could reasonably be called the most recent definitive anthropological work on the Amazonian region. In addition to the ecological analysis, it encompasses a huge amount of secondary research. This book is meticulously detailed, and is also quite well written, but is not especially accessible to a general audience. Without a basic background in the Amazonian region or at least in ecology in general, the reader will have a hard time following Moran's arguments.
