Aprašymas
*As featured in the NEW YORK TIMES*'Every page feels alive with passion' - Sophie Pavelle, author of 'Forget Me Not''A beautiful book' - Levison Wood, author of 'Walking the Himalayas'Named as the BBC's Most Influential Women, Dr Rosa Espinoza shares the story of her incredible life exploring the Amazon.Deep in the Amazonian jungle, there exists a corner of the world that remains untouched - a place where rivers boil, plants heal, and creatures glow in the dark. It's an ecosystem of incredible diversity, and one that Dr Rosa set out to explore.Growing up on the edge of the Peruvian rainforest, Rosa knew the power of indigenous wisdom from a young age. But it was only as she moved to the US to study science that she felt the uneasy separation between her two worlds. Why was scientific enquiry taken more seriously than indigenous knowledge? And what are scientists missing by not listening other ways of seeing the world?Dr Rosa made it her mission to integrate scientific rigour with indigenous wisdom. This book tracks her expeditions in the Amazon, and shows the scientific discoveries she made along the way - from her groundbreaking research on stingless bees to her revelations while taking ayahuasca.This book shows Dr Rosa's determination to rewrite the script of science: to celebrate indigenous knowledge and give us new hope for our world.
