Book Reviews of The Hidden Amazon: The Greatest Voyage in Natural History
Book Review: Accurate, concise, enlightening and fun to read.
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has been to the Amazon many times, I found this book by Dick Lutz to be accurate in its historical content, natural history data and cultural information. The book is based on an "eco-tourism" experience and thus gives the reader a first-hand look into the programming and practices of tour companies that work to conserve natural resources by creating local economic incentives for the preservation of wildlife habitats as "attractions" to international travelers. I would recommend this book to people who desire to travel to remote a natural habitat such as the Amazon, to learn as much as they can while there and to minimize their impact on the local environment. Hidden Amazon contains a section with color pictures, too, which includes shots by wildlife photographer extraordinaire-- Mason Fischer.
