Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This insightful book narrates the author's journey along the Maragnon, the longest river in the world, now known as the Amazon River. Focused on the intersection of anthropology and geography, the author combines scientific data from the expedition with observations on the native people and their customs. The author's scientific measurements of the river and the terrain it flows through, along with detailed accounts of flora, fauna, and local tribes, position this book as an important work for geographers, anthropologists, and historians alike. The author suggests that the natives are the descendants of the ancient Peruvians, and draws comparisons between the local languages and Hebrew, adding linguistic evidence to support his theory.
