In diesem Band wird der Amazonas und sein angrenzender Regenwald in allen wichtigen Facetten dargestellt: Zum einen ist es das riesige Flusssystem selbst mit seinem Geflecht aus Wei -, Schwarz- und Klarwasserflüssen. Aus den unterschiedlichen Wasserqualitäten resultieren enorme Auswirkungen auf Menschen, Tiere und Pflanzen. Zum anderen werden die Menschen beschrieben, die an diesem Rio Mar, dem Meeres-Fluss, leben. Es sind die Caboclos, die Nachfahren der europäischen Einwanderer und der Urbevölkerung, und es sind die unterschiedlichen indigenen Völker, die sich meist an den Flussufern niedergelassen haben, da die Flüsse hier die Stra en ersetzen und überhaupt erst einen Kontakt zu anderen Menschen ermöglichen. Diese Volksgruppen sind zwar seit Generationen mit der westlichen Zivilisation in Kontakt, doch sie haben überraschenderweise auch heute noch eine Reihe bemerkenswerter Traditionen bewahrt, die hier beschrieben werden. Der Schatz der Amazonasregion sind seinePflanzen und Tiere. Deshalb werden ausführlich die faszinierendsten Blütenpflanzen, darunter zahlreiche Heilpflanzen, Bäume, Epiphyten und Lianen unterschiedlicher Lebensräume beschrieben und mit hervorragenden Fotos illustriert. Schlie lich sind es die Tiere, vor allem im und am Fluss, aber auch im angrenzenden Regenwald, die uns Europäer seit Alexander von Humboldt schon immer fasziniert haben. Hier wird nicht nur die Lebensweise der legendären Rosa-Delfine, Piranhas und Vogelspinnen erläutert, sondern auch auf eindrucksvolle Amphibien, Reptilien und Säugetiere des Urwaldes eingegangen.
