DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe story of two generations of scientific explorers in South America—Richard Evans Schultes and his protégé Wade Davis—an epic tale of adventure and a compelling work of natural history. In 1941, Professor Richard Evan Schultes took a leave from Harvard and disappeared into the Amazon, where he spent the next twelve years mapping uncharted rivers and living among dozens of Indian tribes. In the 1970s, he sent two prize students, Tim Plowman and Wade Davis, to follow in his footsteps and unveil the botanical secrets of coca, the notorious source of cocaine, a sacred plant known to the Inca as the Divine Leaf of Immortality. A stunning account of adventure and discovery, betrayal and destruction, One River is a story of two generations of explorers drawn together by the transcendent knowledge of Indian peoples, the visionary realms of the shaman, and the extraordinary plants that sustain all life in a forest that once stood immense and inviolable.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe true story of five young twentieth-century martyrs. In 1956, five young men traveled deep into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication and share the gospel with the fierce and isolated Waorani tribe. In nearby villages, their wives huddled around radio receivers, eagerly awaiting news of the historic encounter. The news they received sent shock waves around the world and changed their lives forever. Beautifully told through the eyes of Elisabeth Elliot, in partnership with the other four missionaries’ wives, and featuring original diary entries and photos, Through Gates of Splendor is a timeless classic, a harrowing story of self-sacrifice, and a powerful wake-up call to anyone pondering the call to follow Christ…. wherever he may lead.
