Along the River That Flows Uphill From the Orinocco to the Amazon From the Orinocco to the Amazon

Informationen zum Autor Richard Starks is a former journalist, editor and publisher of newsletters and magazines. He has also written for television, and has had five other books published. Miriam Murcutt has worked as a writer, editor and marketing executive in the travel and publishing industries. This is the second book the authors have written together. Klappentext Two writers hire a boat and a guide to uncover a natural phenomena in the Amazon rain forest. Zusammenfassung The Casiquiare is unique. Somehow it manages to unite the two river systems of the Orinoco and the Amazon that should, by rights, be entirely separate, and the Casiquiare performs the astonishing feat of flowing up and over the watershed that divides them. This book offers information about the river and the fierce Yanomani tribe.
