The Decade of Destruction

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 224 pages. dj ripped and wornThis book is about The Crusade to Save The Amazon Forest written by Adrian Cowell, who made his first trip to the Amazon Rain Forest in 1957 at the age of 23. The Decade of Destruction born of Cowell's abiding commitment to Amazonia and its people, is the textual accompiment to the films that came out of that te n-year period. A companion volume to the Frontline series of the same name, it stands on its own as a dramatic record of violence, duplicity, and waste and th e terrible loss of much that is fragile and unique. But it also bears witness to the stunning courage of quite ordianary men and women who took it upom themselv es to challenge a corrupt and venal system. Part absorbing memoir, part riveting social document, it is superb reporting.a short and revealing course in greed and brutality. It is also a compelling story, an odyssey of exploration and adv enture told by a most remarkable man whose thirty years of devotion to the rain forest and its people make him an exemplary guide.
