{"product_id":"9780987859945","title":"Echoes of Nature: A Beautiful Wild Habitat: The Amazon Exploration Series","description":"This book is Vol. 5 of the 19th Vol. of The Amazon Exploration Series. It is filled with real life colorful illustrations of the Amazon wild habitat.\u003cbr\u003eTrue enough, the Amazon is a beautiful wild habitat! It is not a zoo, its animals are not someone's pets. \u003cbr\u003eIt is a place where the indigenous people live a communal lifestyle; they share the meat from their hunt and the food they gathered from the forest.\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous tribes that remain in the \"state of nature\" are culturally intact, and they have roots that date back more than 10,000 years. \u003cbr\u003eThey are the hunters and gatherers of the Amazon rain forest who have developed a superior balance and harmony with nature. \u003cbr\u003eIndigenous communities have no formal leaders but every extended family has a chief who speaks for the interests of all family members. \u003cbr\u003eThere is also the Shaman--the spiritual leader of the community--that form a delicate social balance between the Shaman and the chiefs to maintain harmony among the villagers. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is highly recommended for all family members, elementary and middle schools, naturalists, community libraries and collectors of The Amazon Exploration Series.","brand":"Northwater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009990508784,"sku":"9780987859945","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780987859945_p0.jpg?v=1763900239","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780987859945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
