An engrossing account of one of the last untouched tropical rain forests in the world and its teeming wildlife, this an indispensable guidebook for the intrepid armchair traveller, gold prospector and diamond panner. The author writes vividly of the beauties and hazards of life with marauding jaguars, deadly labaria snakes dropping from the trees, piranhas that can strip the flesh from a body in seconds and thirty foot anacondas that can squeeze the life out of a man; of battling up river against life-threatening rapids and thunderous waterfalls. This is also fascinating social history from colonial times to the 1980s, including Young's involvement with the aftermath of the tragic mass 'suicide' of over 900 followers of the American cult leader Jim Jones at Jonestown.
