2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
The story of two generations of scientific explorers in South AmericaRichard Evans Schultes and his protg Wade Davisan epic tale of adventure and a compelling work of natural history. In 1941, Professor Richard Evan Schultes took a leave from Harvard and disappeared into the Amazon, where he spent the next twelve years mapping uncharted rivers and living among dozens of Indian tribes. In the 1970s, he sent two prize students, Tim Plowman and Wade Davis, to follow in his footsteps and unveil the botanical secrets of coca, the notorious source of cocaine, a sacred plant known to the Inca as the Divine Leaf of Immortality. A stunning account of adventure and discovery, betrayal and destruction, One River is a story of two generations of explorers drawn together by the transcendent knowledge of Indian peoples, the visionary realms of the shaman, and the extraordinary plants that sustain all life in a forest that once stood immense and inviolable.

#booksaboutnature #readjanuary ..so I'm catching up since I've been having some meltdowns and anxiety lately. Nature is the only other thing besides reading that can pick me up and give me comfort.

JoeStalksBeck I dealt with severe anxiety for years. I finally realized I was creating it. Figured if I can create this much negativity I should be able to create that much positivity. It took a long time and a lot of mental gymnastics but I conquered it without meds. Hang in there! You can conquer this too! 📚❤📚❤❤️😊 (edited) 8y

If you like adventure books, I highly recommend this one. It was one of those I wished was 900 pages instead of only 500..
