Amazon expeditions: my quest for the ice-age equator.

New Haven: Yale University Press, 2008.
Octavo, dustwrapper, 328 pp. black and white illustrations.

A memoir of a life in science by ecologist Paul Colinvaux takes his readers from the Alaskan tundra to steamy Amazon jungles, from the Galapagos Islands (before tourists had arrived) to the high Andes and the Darien Gap in Panama. He recounts an adventurous tale of exploration in the days before GPS and satellite mapping.
