Love the pace of this book. We STARTED the Magic Tree House series with this one, which is odd. It was the one I saw first at the store and they didn't have #1, and after trying the Junie B. Jones books and hating them, I had to get something else. This was recommended by my best friend, a 4th grade teacher. She said the kids love them. So I tried. My girls are 4 and 6, and they LOVED when I read this chapter book to them. Animals, protective brother and sister - it's just cute and easy.

3.One River by: Wade Davis September 03, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.13
'One River' is full of great stories and anecdotes as well as a sense of place and time that are unforgettable. I'm giving it four stars for reasons stated below and so won't focus on the positives which have already been so well covered by many reviewers. These are fairly minor quibbles in an otherwise good book. Stylistically, the narrative doesn't always flow well. Wade presents the life of the books central character, Richard Schultes, in some sort of chronological order, but interjects anecdotal stories out of order requiring the reader to have a good memory to keep everything straight. This is a long detail-rich book with 1000s of people and place names covering about a 150 year timespan from the Amazon Jungle, to the Andes to Central America and the American West. The amount of ... Read More

This book is well written and easy to read and understand. The literary quality is not lost in the scientific terminology. A must read prior to a trip to the tropics. A good written explanation of why we should save the tropical forests.

6.The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals by: Leslie Taylor January 30, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $23.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.29 You Save: $7.66 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $12.96
Dr. Taylor cured herself of cancer after traditional medicine had written her off. She goes over a lot of information about Amazon herbs, how and when to use them. Take your time and study the book. It is information dense. Because of this book I purchased the herb Cat's Claw when I got sick. I do think it helped me clear the illness. It is almost tasteless and taken with a small amount of water it is easy to use. It can be hard with so many overlapping symptoms to pick the right herb so move slowly and carefully before deciding what course you want to pursue.

8.Rainforest Strategy: The Planet's Most Successful Business Model by: Michael Q. Pink October 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $21.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $14.95 You Save: $7.04 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.39
Michael Q. Pink's "Rainforest Strategy" is a fascinating read that bases a business model on the ecosystem of the rainforest. It is educational. It is inspirational. It is mind-blowing in its genius and simplicity. Everyone in business should read this book regardless of their role. For that matter, anyone who interacts with someone in business should pick up this incredible read. And I believe that would encompass nearly everyone on the planet - unless of course you live in the rainforest, but then you probably already know everything contained in these pages!

10.Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon : Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil by: Gerard Colby, Charlotte Dennett 1995-05
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.98
Let me be at least the second reviewer to say this is among the very best books I have ever read. It makes the exotic seem at the center of change and hundreds of aspects of domestic politics gleam with light from angles never imagined. Even its wide ranging title fails to capture the all encompasing and yet never laborious nature of its contagious curiosities. And these curiosites are not peripheral or for amusement. One is dead certain that one is reading about the turn in the American Century. The 1960's was a time when the US was making a decision that few knew about; should we remain country that produces goods for the rest of the world working more multilatterally (at least compared to today) or should we become more unilatteral and focus our economy more on direct investment in Latin America, ...
