This month’s featured book focuses on Amazon Tribes

by The AV Times Staff • March 19, 2012

PALMDALE – The Palmdale City Library has selected The Unconquered: in search of the Amazon’s last uncontacted tribes by Scott Wallace as the Featured Book of the Month for March.

Even to this day, there remain tribes in the far reaches of the Amazon rainforest that have avoided contact with modern civilization. Deliberately hiding from the outside world, they are the unconquered, the last survivors of an ancient culture that predates the arrival of Columbus in the New World.

In this gripping first-person account of adventure and survival, author Scott Wallace chronicles an expedition into the Amazon’s uncharted depths, discovering the rainforest’s secrets while moving ever closer to a possible encounter with one such tribe-the mysterious flecheiros, or “People of the Arrow,” seldom-glimpsed warriors known to repulse all intruders with showers of deadly arrows.

Wallace writes about the environment and indigenous affairs for National Geographic and other publications. The Unconquered is available for check out from the Palmdale City Library.

For further information on the Featured Book of the Month, contact the Palmdale City Library at 661-267-5600 or at www.cityofpalmdale.org/library
