In the following pages we feature some of the exquisite photography from the new book, The Lost Amazon: The Photographic Journey of Richard Evans Schultes. These photos were taken by Schultes, the late Harvard professor and reputed "father of Ethnobotany," during the 12 years he spent cataloguing rubber trees and medicinal and psychoactive plants in the Amazon during the 1940s and 1950s. His exploits in the Amazon have been detailed in the superlative book, One River—Exploration and Discoveries in the Amazon Rainforest (Touchstone, 1996). Both The Lost Amazon and One River were written by one of Schultes most accomplished students, the eminent author and ethnobotanist, Wade Davis, currently an explorer-in-residence at the National Geographic Society. (Excerpts from One River were published in HerbalGram 38.) Portions of the text of One River are found in The Lost Amazon
