One River: Explorations and Discoveries in the Amazon Rain Forest

Work

by Wade Davis · 1996

One River is a biographical and ethnobotanical narrative that follows two generations of scientific explorers in the Amazon basin. It details the legendary explorations of Harvard professor Richard Evans Schultes in the 1940s and 1950s, alongside the subsequent 1970s journeys of his students, Wade Davis and Timothy Plowman, as they document indigenous cultures and sacred psychoactive plants.
