Fascination Amazon Riverits people, its animals, its plants /[electronic resource] :by Lothar Staeck. - Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :2022. - xxiii, 348 p. :ill. (chiefly col.), digital ;24 cm.

1. introduction -- 2- The Amazon - largest river on earth -- 3. cities on the Amazon -- 4. people on the Amazon -- 5. the rainforest -- 6. flowering plants on and in the water -- 7. flowering plants in the rainforest -- 8. animal observation on and in the water -- 9. animal observation in the rainforest -- 10. conclusion: how will development continue in the Amazon lowlands?

In this volume, the Amazon and its adjacent rainforest are presented in all their important facets: First, there is the vast river system itself, with its network of white, black, and clear water rivers. The different water qualities have an enormous impact on people, animals and plants. On the other hand, the people who live along this "Rio Mar," the ocean river, are described. They are the Caboclos, the descendants of the European immigrants and the indigenous people, and it is the different indigenous peoples who have mostly settled along the riverbanks, since the rivers here replace the roads and make contact with other people possible in the first place. Although these ethnic groups have been in contact with Western civilization for generations, they have surprisingly preserved a number of remarkable traditions that are described here. The treasure of the Amazon is its plants and animals. Therefore, the most fascinating flowering plants, including numerous medicinal plants, tropical fruits, trees, epiphytes and lianas from different habitats are described in detail and illustrated with excellent photographs. Finally, it is the animals, especially in and around the river, that have always fascinated the German explorer Alexander von Humboldt in 1801. Not only is the lifestyle of the legendary pink dolphins, piranhas and tarantulas explained here, but the impressive amphibians, reptiles and mammals of the jungle are also discussed. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Faszination Amazonas by Lothar Staeck, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. In a first step the translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. In a second step a human revision was done by the author. Dr. Lothar Staeck is professor for didactics of biology (biological education) at the Technical University Berlin. His main focus is the education of students with a focus on "biology teachers teaching in highschools". He his actually a biology lecturer on cruise ships for over 20 years and is an expert on the Amazon in particular.
