A Naturalist In Cannibal Land (1913) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164345947)

A Naturalist in Cannibal Land is a non-fiction book written by A. S. Meek and published in 1913. The book is a memoir of Meek's experiences during his time as a naturalist in the Amazon rainforest. Meek's account is a fascinating exploration of the flora and fauna of the Amazon, as well as the indigenous tribes that inhabit the region. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Meek's journey, including his encounters with dangerous animals like snakes and jaguars, his interactions with the native tribes, and his observations of the unique plant life in the rainforest. Meek's writing is engaging and descriptive, painting a vivid picture of the Amazon and the people who call it home. Throughout the book, Meek also reflects on the impact of colonialism on the region and the ways in which the natural environment has been exploited for profit. Despite these darker themes, A Naturalist in Cannibal Land is ultimately a celebration of the beauty and diversity of the Amazon rainforest, and a testament to the importance of preserving it for future generations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
