Out of the Amazon : Photographs of the Brazilian Rainforest

This study explores the extraordinary biodiversity of the forest and the indigenous cultures of the Brazilian tropical rainforest.

The pictures give a wide-ranging insight into the beauty and value of the country's landscape, focusing on both the plants and the people.

After two decades of environmental destruction, there is continuing concern about the dangers threatening this unique environment.

However, government attitudes are changing, and the book concludes with a look at the recent signs of hope for reconstruction.
