About this book

David G. Campbell recounts travelling up the Rio Moa, a far-off branch feeding the Amazon, which lies 2,800 miles from the river's mouth. The trip frames his close look at the people and forest of far western Amazonia.

The book draws a tight connection between a native language disappearing and biological diversity being wiped out. It treats the human and ecological losses as connected rather than separate.

It is published by Rutgers University Press, ISBN-13 9780813540528. It suits readers of anthropology, Amazonian studies and environmental history.
