About the Author After attending his first year at the University of Costa Rica, in the early 80s, Mynor was infected with the beautiful traveler's disease, with results so far incurable. His first big trip started in Nicaragua, a country torn by war. He then crossed the border to El Salvador, another country plagued by guerrilla warfare. After surviving the crossing of Central America and the Mexican desert, Mynor came to the USA, before finally settling in Canada. Since then, he has accumulated thousands of miles, traveling around the Americas and other continents. He has worked and lived in Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, and many U.S. cities. Today, his home is in a suitcase, usually in a country or place between Brazil and Costa Rica. Most recently, Mynor has spent over a year traveling the world, mainly in South America, navigating several rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. It was there that he finally decided to achieve one of his most cherished dreams: to navigate the mighty Amazon River from its inception in Peru to its flows into the beautiful Atlantic coast of Brazil. After traveling in more than 60 countries, some of his favorite places are Thailand, Costa Rica, and China; but he lists Colombia and Sweden as countries on the list of places that everyone should visit before they die. In his own country, his favorite sights include visiting the active Arenal Volcano and lying on the Manuel Antonio beaches. Currently he is busy writing his upcoming books "Walking from Costa Rica to the Amazon" and Amazon: Wisdom and Life Lessons. One of his most memorable travel experiences occurred when a herd of monkeys stole his camera and lunch, while Mynor was enjoying the sea in Costa Rica's Pacific beaches.

Amazonia is never quite what it seems. Despite regular attention in the media and numerous academic studies the Brazilian Amazon is rarely appreciated as a historical place home to a range of different societies. Often left invisible are the families who are making a living from the rivers and forests of the region. Broadly characterizing these people as peasants Amazon Peasant Societies in a Changing Environment seeks to bring together research by anthropologists, historians, political ecologists and biologists. A new paradigm emerges which helps understand the way in which Amazonian modernity has developed. This book addresses a comprehensive range of questions from the politics of conservation and sustainable development to the organization of women’s work and the diet and health of Amazonian people. Apart from offering an analysis of a neglected aspect of Amazonia this collection represents a unique interdisciplinary exercise on the nature of one of the most beguiling regions of the world.
