Photographs in black and white, as well as color, document the life of some tribes found in the Brazilian Amazon jungle. Tribes such as the Yanomami and Kampa are shown at work and at play in this endangered rain forest. The reader is furnished with images and words that give a glimpse into tribal life in this most important part of the world.

Another spectacular book by Mirella Ricciardi. Different from Vanishing Africa, where East Africa was the author's natural home, Vanishing Amazon comes alive as a place foreign to the photographer, but where she picks up every nuance of the fascinating people, and offers the reader an unparalleled portraiture. Such scenes are not to be witnessed by many, and so we are thankful that Mirella has generously offered us this rare view of a people's of the rain forest and their way of life.
