Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Wade Davis has been called "a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet and passionate defender of all of life's diversity." Driven by the desire to discover new plants for healing and visions, as well as to learn about other ways of knowing the wild, Davis journeys from the rain forests of Borneo to the mountains of Tibet, from the ice floes of the Arctic to the sands of the Sahara.
