  Heldere overzichtskaart van het inmense Amazone-stroomgebied. Toch - ondanks de grove schaal - veel details als het gaat om nederzettingen en wegen.

  ITMB has created a new, digitally-prepared, double-sided map of this crucially important watershed area. It covers all the many rivers that form the Amazon basin and has been able to capture the information on the ‘old’ map, while using the expanded scale of the new map to add and enhance countless details that were crammed on to the earlier editions or for which there was inadequate room to include.

  Legend Includes:
  International and state boundaries, roads by classifications, distances between points, rivers, lakes, national parks, beeches, hotels, lighthouses, airports, place of interests and other information.

  A wildly humorous account of the author's travels across Paraguay -- South America's darkly fabled, little-known "island surrounded by land." Rarely visited by tourists and barely touched by global village sprawl, Paraguay remains a mystery to outsiders. Think of this small nation and your mind is likely to jump to Nazis, dictators, and soccer. Now, John Gimlette's eye-opening book -- equal parts travelogue, history, and unorthodox travel guide -- breaches the boundaries of this isolated land," and illuminates a little-understood place and its people. It is a wonderfully animated telling of Paraguay's story: of cannibals, Jesuits, and sixteenth-century Anabaptists; of Victorian Australian socialists and talented smugglers; of dictators and their mad mistresses; bloody wars and Utopian settlements; and of lives transplanted from Japan, Britain, Poland, Russia, Germany, Ireland, Korea, and the United States. The author travels from the insular cities and towns of the east, along ghostly trails through the countryside, to reach the Gran Chaco of the west: the "green hell" covering almost two-thirds of the country, where 4 percent of the population coexists -- more or very-much-less peacefully -- with a vast array of exotic wildlife that includes jaguars, prehistoric lungfish, and their more recently evolved distant cousins, the great fighting river fish. Gimlette visits with Mennonites and theindigenas,arms dealers and real-estate tycoons, shopkeepers, government bureaucrats and, of course, Nazis. Filled with bizarre incident, fascinating anecdote, and richly evocative detail,At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pigis a brilliant description of a country of eccentricity and contradiction, of beguilingly individualistic men and women, and of unexpected and extraordinary beauty. It is a vivid, often riotous, always fascinating, journey.
