520 |a This book is a comprehensive and diverse account of how Indigenous people transformed landscapes and managed resources in the most extensive region of tropical forests in the world. Until recently, most scholars and scientists, as well as the general public, thought Indigenous people had a minimal impact on Amazon forests, once considered to be total wildernesses. The author's research, conducted over a span of three decades, shows a more complicated truth. He argues that Indigenous people, past and present, have time and time again profoundly transformed nature into culture. Moreover, they have done so using their traditional knowledge and technology developed over thousands of years.
