Amazon River

Beginning with a tiny trickle high in the mountains, smaller streams join until they form the worlds largest river. Crossing a continent, it winds through lush rainforests until it meets the ocean. From piranhas to the giant anaconda, this mighty waterway is home to the worlds most incredible ecosystem. Welcome to the Amazon River.

Stylish illustrations by the Brazilian artist d'Hipolito perfectly compliment this poetic non-fiction volume about the Amazon - its wildlife, historic civilisations and the jeopardy it's in now. Both text and images make the information zing.
