QUAL É O SEU NORTE?

 
In this book, twelve tales belonging to the folklore of Northern Brazil are interspersed between pages filled with lots of information about the culture, fauna, flora and ecology of the Amazon. Illustrated with photos, drawings and maps, the almanac provides a complete panorama of one of the richest regions on the planet.

Who has never dreamed of visiting the Amazon rainforest, with its infinity of plants, animals and legends? In this almanac, the North of Brazil is explored based on stories from the region - "O boto", "Boi-bumbá", "A sumaúma", "Macunaíma e o monte Roraima", among many others -, and illustrated with many photos, drawings and maps. Topics such as biodiversity (forest, fauna and flora); forest medicines (medicinal plants, use and professional activities); parks, reserves and archaeological sites; how to live off the forest (communities and organizations that have adopted sustainability and forest management as a means of survival); and how the Amazon became Brazil (a brief history of the region over the last five centuries) are mixed with indigenous myths and stories about important characters, such as Marechal Rondon and the rubber tapper Chico Mendes. An almanac like you've never seen!
