Description

Explore the complex reality of the Brazilian Amazonia in this multi-disciplinary collection from MACMILLAN. As the world's largest remaining tropical rainforest faces uncertain times, this book examines two decades of development that have led to violent struggles over resource control and significant social and environmental impacts. This text provides a deep look at the latest phase of Amazonian settlement through the eyes of leading authorities. It moves beyond past experiences to analyze current challenges facing the region. Readers will gain a better understanding of how modern expansion affects this vital ecosystem and the people living within it. Whether you are studying political economy or environmental science, this work offers essential insights into the tension between industrial progress and ecological preservation. It covers the wide-ranging consequences of large-scale projects and the shifting landscape of the Brazilian frontier.
