One River
Explorations And Discoveries In The Amazon Rain Forest
Wade Davis
Travel with Wade Davis and Tim Plowman as they journey through South America, living amongst a dozen Indian tribes and searching for the origins of coca, the sacred leaf of the Andes which is also the source of cocaine. Their journey is inspired and made possible by their Harvard mentor, Richard Evans Schultes, the most important scientific explorer in South America in this century whose exploits rival those of Darwin and the great naturalist explorers of the Victorian age. Follow Wade and Tim's storytelling as they share their adventures, discoveries and the invaluable knowledge of native shamans.

The dangers of narrow identity are captured well in Wade Davis’ fascinating book on the Amazon region—One River. A well-meaning sign in a train tells passengers to be mindful of other passengers and, hence, urges them to be civilized and throw garbage out of the window. – source
