BBC special on the Amazon (recommended)

You might like to take a look at today's special on the Amazon put out by the BBC World Service.

At this early stage, when our own journey to the region is still a long time off, a general overview of this kind might be useful. Admittedly, I haven't had much of a chance to look it over in detail myself (though I see it mentions a book about Chico Mendes, whose home town of Xapuri we'll be visiting). Perhaps some of you might like to report back on anything you find of interest.
