Rainforest Cities: Urbanization, Development, and Globalization of the Brazilian Amazon
The Enchanted Amazon Rain Forest: Stories from a Vanishing World
The Enchanted Amazon Rain Forest: Stories from a Vanishing World
This collection of the folklore of peasants living in the Amazon basin, who regard their environment with awe and respect, focuses on the significance of myths and legends as a message of conservation
Agroforestry trajectories among smallholders in the Brazilian Amazon: Innovation and resiliency in pioneer and older settled areas
Development or Destruction: The Conversion of Tropical Forest to Pasture in Latin America
This interdisciplinary study focuses on the effects of forest destruction in Latin America, caused by the expansion of cattle production into these seemingly under-utilized areas. The high ecological and social costs are analyzed from the perspective of several disciplines, including anthropology, animal science, the environmental sciences, forestry and natural resource economics. The contributors explore the dynamics of cattle production, its so…

Rainforest Corridors: The Transamazon Colonization Scheme
Amazon Economics: The Simplicity of Shipibo Indian Wealth
Anthrosols and Human Carrying Capacity in Amazonia∗
The occurrence of numerous areas of black soil associated with potsherds in Amazonia has stirred controversy on the origins of the soil type and its significance in terms of precontact aboriginal population densities in the region. The theories on the origin of black earth are reviewed and it is argued that it is anthropogenic. An analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the soil type, based on widespread sampling, supports the anthrop…
Utilization of game along Brazil's transamazon highway
The hunting methods and game yield from rain forest and second growth along the Transamazon highway are described and the importance of wild meat in the diet of setlers is assessed. The implications of game take with respect to the human carrying capacity of interfluvial forest in Amazonia is also explored
