Blair Niles and her husband went looking for true wilderness in Venezuela and British Guiana, from a lake of pitch to the forests of the single tree. Her account braids exploration, birdlife and a woman's frank experience of the tropics. Adventure with a naturalist's eye. Push into the South American wild in search of the untouched.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
