    A Life of Adventure
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2021*

This is the illustrated story of Professor Richard E Schultes explorations of the cultures of the great Amazon basin.  The original migrants from Siberia into North America (Alaska) about 14,000 years ago moved south into South America (and to the tip of Florida) branching into hundreds of cultures.  In South America they discovered an amazing variety of medicinal plants, most of them unique to the New World.  These plants, especially those producing psychoactive alkaloids, influenced their social and spiritual evolution.  Schultes respect for natives was the key to discovering the roots of their world.  This story, written by one of Professor Schultes students, describes one of the greatest adventures of modern Natural Science.

    PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY OF RICHARD EVANS SCHULTES
  

*by D***V on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2006*

Schultes was perhaps the greatest ethnobotanists of all time and definitely the father of the subject.  In this book, his pupil (and today famed explorer) Wade Davis puts together a sampling of his photographs throughout his life in the Amazon, providing a visual context to the story about the great scientist and explorer.Schultes lived among indians for many years in the northwestern Amazon, in search for knowledge about its plants and their secrets.  He uncovered many hallucinogenic plants in the process, which earned him a cult status in the 1970s.  During his time with the indians, he was able to build strong relationships with the natives, which earned a position of respect and gave him the ability to explore their land and knowledge deeply.Schultes is one of the last great explorers who disconnected himself from the outside world for years in order to collect new specimens and search for more knowledge.  Such figures are rare, if at existent in the modern world.  He wrote many books about his travels, which would also make interesting reading, especially as they relat ehte knowledge he gathered.  This is more of a coffee table type of book, with many pictures and less story.  Having read one of his books, I appreciated seeing the pictures of his time in the Amazon.

    Beautiful and interesting
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2020*

I didn't know anything about Richard Evans Schultes, this remarkable scientist and explorer.  Having been in the Amazon myself I envy him for his super-human endurance and focus.  The portraits of the tribes (picture and text) shows the deep appreciation the author, the other contributors and Schultes have for the Indian tribes' achievements and humanity.  I was deeply touched.The book is beautifully crafted.  A real pleasure.
