āMontgomery thoroughly mines the social and economic effects the piabas have on locals alongside an in-depth exploration of the Amazon river and its ecosystems. The science and sociology are interesting and unusual, and the narrative itself enthralling.ā āBooklist, starred review
Considered the ālungs of the world,ā the Amazon provides a full fifth of the worldās oxygen, and every year unsustainable human practices destroy 2.7 million acres of it. What can be done to help? Thatās where Project Piaba comes in. Join the award-winning author Sy Montgomery and the photographer Keith Ellenbogen as they traverse the river and rainforest to discover how tiny fish, called piabas, can help preserve the Amazon, its animals, and the rich legacy of its people. Amazon Adventure is an eye-openingāand ultimately hopefulāexploration of how humanityās practices are affecting and shaping not only the Amazon, but our entire environment.
