Sinossi

Amazon River Paths embarks on a journey through the world's largest river system, highlighting its crucial role as a climate regulator and biodiversity hotspot. This exploration synthesizes botanical expeditions and geographical surveys to reveal the intricate relationship between the Amazon's dynamic geomorphology, its astonishing plant life, and the escalating impact of human activities, such as deforestation and mining, on its fragile environment.

 
Interestingly, the book traces the river's geological evolution from a transcontinental seaway, illustrating the immense changes it has undergone over millennia.

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, integrating geography, botany, ecology, and environmental science to foster a nuanced understanding of the Amazon ecosystem. It unfolds in three major sections, initially introducing the Amazon's geographical context, then delving into its botanical wealth, and culminating in an analysis of human-driven challenges.

 
Ultimately, the book proposes strategies for sustainable management, emphasizing that a holistic understanding of the Amazon's physical and biological processes is crucial for effective conservation and environmental stewardship.

    Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
     
     
     
    Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
     
     
     
    A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

    'Intelligent, thought-provoking and always, always interesting' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
    'Smyth writes with warmth and engaging perception about our relationship and understanding of the natural world on our doorsteps' - Jon Dunn, author of The Glitter in the Green
    'Fresh and tender and playful' - Patrick Galbraith, author of In Search of One Last Song
    Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?
    
    Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.
    
    Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.
