SIGNED COPIES! Bruce Parry’s "Amazon" tells the story of Parry’s trip down the world’s greatest river. As seen on BBC TV, Parry follows the length of the Amazon river from the High Andes, through Coca Country, joins the Brazilian Carnival, passes through tribal communities, spots stunning wildlife and eventually reaches the Atlantic Ocean.

Parry travels over 6,000km by foot, light aircraft and boat. On the way he meets the people who live and work along the world’s greatest river, from members of tribes who are struggling to preserve their ancient culture to loggers illegally stripping the rainforest of valuable resources. It’s a complex, shifting and fascinating part of the world: home to millions of people and the frontline in an environmental war. In his own uniquely immersive way, Parry unearths the stories of those whose lives are intricately linked to this most biodiverse of habitats. The truths he discovers are often terrifying and always eye-opening, reminding us that the Amazon’s increasing devastation will affect all of us.
