This is not a nature book!
Please note that for all intents and purposes there is not a single nature photograph in this entire collection!
There are only two and with little photographic value.
One on the first page and one on the last page.
There is not one picture of either animal, insect or plant.
As a photographer myself, I consider the pictures ok but not great(the people who live along the Amazon). Not worth the effort and expense of a journey along the great Amazon for such meagre photography.
And as I recall there are no photgraphs of any indeginous peoples
along the Amazon either(very dissapointing).
This is also an old book and the photographic print quality is not comparable to what might be published today.

Summary: Beautiful Book
Comment: I showed this book to one of my photography instructors at the college I attend and we discussed how wonderful the use of color and composition is in Alex Webb's photography. He is an extremely insightful photographer. Many of the photos are so skillfully composed that they are almost like two or three photographs in one. This book is filled with "decisive moments" - similiar to Cartier-Bresson's approach to photography - but in beautiful color.
I'll never look at color photography in the same way after having seen Mr. Webb's work. I learned things from this book. And I am proud to own it.

Summary: A sensitive photographer with a great eye
Comment: Mr. Webb's images reflect a sensitive photographer, a thinking photographer with a great eye. His graphic approach to documentary photography adds a wonderful artistic quality to the images.
The images bring me to the Amazon, the real Amazon with its beauty, danger, ugliness, etc.-- not the romanticized Amazon of just beautiful sceneries.
