5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent
Beautifully written and superbly illustrated. The photos bring to mind those of Ansel Adams, but Schultes was working under infinitely more difficult conditions. This book is often hard to find - congrats to Amazon.com for making it available

Picture Book
I just bought this book and had no idea it was a black and white picture book with minimal captions. Most of the pictures of natives , streams, rocks, huts, etc. were'nt even taken by Schultes. I thought I was buying Richard Schultes findings about "plants and peoples of the Columbian Amazon" as the cover states. huge disappointment

Captivating,
This review is from: Where the Gods Reign: Plants and Peoples of the Colombian Amazon (Paperback)
I originally found this book in the back of a new-age bookstore in a pile of generic "shamanist" books. To say this was a gross miscategorization would be an understatement; what is contained within these pages is not various recepies for getting high, but a massive and thoughtful photographic documentation of the ways in which the indigenous peoples of the Colombian Amazon interact with and become an integral part of their surrounding environment.
A must for anyone even remotely interested in botany and/or anthropology!
