Book Description :

In this reissue of the environmental classic The Burning Season, with a new introduction by the author, Andrew Revkin artfully interweaves the moving story of Chico Mendes's struggle with the broader natural and human history of the world's largest tropical rain forest. |It became clear,| writes Revkin, acclaimed science reporter for The New York Times, |that the murder was a microcosm of the larger crime: the unbridled destruction of the last great reservoir of biological diversity on Earth.| In his life and untimely death, Mendes forever altered the course of development in the Amazon, and he has since become a model for environmental campaigners everywhere.
