Great Book
Great Book. Couldn't put it down. I only have time to read during my lunch break. After work I would tell my family of the adventures that I was reading. Before long, I was being asked about the Yanomamo and what was happening from my family. It was a tale a fun and adventure and truth. A must read.

Read the awesome power & presence of God in Growing Up Yanomamo!
This is one of the most well written books that I have ever read. You would think that it was written by Mark Twain with the suspense, challenges and progression of a gifted writer, which I believe Michael Dawson to be, as well as a seasoned veteran of the Yanomamo!You will not be able to put this book down as, just like in Huckleberry Finn, you're right there with Michael in his many adventures. His heart for the Yanomamo can never be question and his dedication to push through some of the most difficult things in life, let alone on a mission field. If you do not read this book, you will be missing out on one of the most literary brilliances in a lifetime. God bless to the Dawsons, their families and to the Yanomamo.

A Wonderful Missionary Story
This is a fantastic book. I visited Dawsons and saw firsthand their ministry to the Yanomamo. This family is the real deal. I enjoyed every page of the book and feel that it captures the joy and sorrow of a life committed to jungle missions.Thank you Michael.

Product Description

Imagine living in a stone-age culture. That is how the Yanomam'o have been described. Three generations of the same family working with this Venezuelan tribe and now a new film coming out from the tribal leaders themselves to refute the secular anthropologists by showing how walking with Christ has transformed their culture. Mike's growing up years will take you through adventures with animals, nature, and people. Top to learn more

Extraordinary
If you enjoy armchair traveling, like superb writing and a good story - this is the book. Mr. Campbell's intimacy with this part of the world, it's history and the story of the people who live there, is beautifully told. A pleasure from start to finish.

Richly textured
This book delivered much more than I expected. The author is a scientist, not just a traveler. Each observation went several steps deeper into the biology and history than typical with this kind of book. The story was made much richer by these details.It is true that the vocabulary was a bit advanced. However, I never bothered to check the dictionary, and it didn't hurt the narrative.Highly recommended.

Excellent!
A Land of Ghosts is a splendid journey through Amazonian Brazil. Infused with enlightened historical, ecological, and anthropological perspective, Campbell stands alone in his ability to fuse eloquent science writing with a tale of adventure. At times haunting, this book reveals the deep causes of rainforest destruction in the region. However, this book presents these causes in a unique way, and, at least for me, marks a new style of conservation advocation. Indeed, a refreshing one. If you have any interest in tropical ecology, and like works by such authors as David Quammen or Tim Flannery you will love this brilliant work.

Product Description

The western Amazon is the last frontier, as wild a west as Earth has ever known. For thirty years David G. Campbell has been exploring this lush wilderness, which contains more species than ever existed anywhere at any time in the four-billion-year history of life on our planet.
With great artistic flair, Campbell takes us with him as he travels to the town of Cruzeiro do Sul, 2,800 miles from the mouth of the Amazon. Here he collects three old friends: Arito, a caiman hunter turned paleontologist; Tarzan, a street urchin brought up in a bordello; and Pimentel, a master canoe pilot. They travel together even farther into the rainforest, set up camp, and survey every living woody plant in a land so rich that an area of less than fifty acres contains three times as many tree species as all of North America.
Campbell knows the trees individually, has watched them grow from seedling to death. He also knows the people of the Amazon: the recently arrived colonists with their failing farms; the mixed-blood Caboclos, masters of hunting, fishing, and survival; and the refugee Native Americans. Campbell introduces us to two remarkable women, Dona Cabocla, a widow who raised six children on that lonely frontier, and Dona Ausira, A Nokini Native American who is the last speaker of her tribe's ages-old language. These people live in a land whose original inhabitants were wiped out by centuries of disease, slavery, and genocide, taking their traditions and languages with them -- a land of ghosts.
