Wild Amazon

The moment Roseatre sees the white tigers the stage manager has brought in to shake things up at the Midnight Mystery Lounge, she’s terrified. Even though their handler makes her want to purr, she shouldn’t be anywhere near the beautiful tigers. They’re sure to recognize her and arouse her need to hunt. The last thing pride outcast Anthony diNapoli was expecting to encounter at the lounge was an Amazon princess. The lucrative show will go a long way toward securing his future, but not if he gives in to the urge to make her submit. No matter how desperately her body aches for the sexy, sun-kissed stranger, Roseatre is no man’s prize. But she finds herself hungering for Anthony to conquer her. It’s show time in the Arcana Royale’s Midnight Mystery Lounge and all bets are off. Each story in The Tales of the Arcana Royale Series is standalone story that can be enjoyed in any order.

In this engaging book, Stephen Nugent offers an in-depth historical anthropology of a widely recognised feature of the Amazon region, examining the dramatic rise and fall of the rubber industry. He considers rubber in the Amazon from the perspective of a long-term extractive industry that linked remote forest tappers to technical innovations central to the industrial transformation of Europe and North America, emphasizing the links between the social landscape of Amazonia and the global economy. Through a critical examination focused on the rubber industry, Nugent addresses myths that continue to influence perceptions of Amazonia. The book challenges widely held assumptions about the hyper-naturalism of the ‘lost world’ of the Amazon where ‘the challenge of the tropics’ is still to be faced and the ‘frontiers of development’ are still to be settled. It is relevant for students and scholars of anthropology, Latin American studies, history, political ecology, geography and development studies.

A unique, lavishly illustrated e-guide to the beauty and diversity of the Amazon--the rainforest and the river, its flora and fauna, and the people who live in the region. Applying the award-winning DK Eyewitness formula to the subject of the largest and most bio-diverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, and the vast river that winds its way through it, this title profiles everything from the birds, animals, and insects that live there to the nine South American countries it extends across.

Provides information about the unusual animals of the Amazon and the habitats in which they live, discussing the the green anaconda, the giant river otter, and the red howler monkey.

Amazonia is, without doubt, the greatest rainforest on earth. Some 50 percent of the world's terrestrial species, including rare - and often unique - animals and plants are found here, while during the rainy season, a staggering one fifth of all fresh water on the planer flows along the mighty river Amazon. Nick Gordon's photographs give us an unrivalled insight into that wilderness. Having lived in Amazonia for more than ten years, filming and photographing the wildlife and indigenous peoples of the area, he has amassed a unique and wide-ranging collection of images. Written in a lively and accessible style, the accompanying text is both informative and entertaining.
