Thames and Hudson, .
Quarto, paperback, 160 pp. black and white photographs.

Regarded as the "father of ethnobotany," Schultes surveyed the Amazon basin almost continuously for twelve years, during which time he lived among two dozen different Indian tribes, mapped rivers, secretly sought sources of rubber for the US government during WWII, and collected and classified 30,000 botanical specimens. This volume presents a selection of the hundreds of photographs he took in the course of his groundbreaking expeditions.
