In 1986 a party of 12 explorers attempted to travel the full length of the Amazon. Joe Kane's original role was as a writer and observer but he ended up as one of the only two members of the original group to complete the entire journey, the first of European people to travel the Amazon from source to sea.

My only complaint is the standard....better maps! Otherwise, the book is filled to the rim with humor, good insight, and a great deal of empathy. I worked for minerals companies for some years and, generally, I found that the were unsympathetic to the problems the create. Also, tis a shame that consumers are quick to jump on the bandwagon of anti-exploitation, but continue to overuse resources for their individual benefit.
Back to the book....Kane's description of how Moi and the rest see the world was humorous, sad, enlightening, and just plain wonderful. Currently in Bolivia, but ma be going to Ecuador next ear. This is superb background material.… (plus d'informations)

I closed the book with the feeling of having travelled alonside Kane on the Amazon. I don't usually read real adventure books, and I had only had this feeling before(of having actually done the same travel as the characters/writer) while reading the Lord of the Rings.

A great book.
