Darkness in El Dorado: How Scientists and Journalists Devastated the Amazon

Summary: Factual, but a bit bias
Review: With the long listed facts, this book gives a very detail description on the happenings in the Yanomami land since its discovery. The book blames the spoiled land was due to the anthropologists who were then awarded based on the field work within the Yanomami, who are friendly and should be protected intact as from the author's opinion.

Though the anthropogists have the own accountabilities, there are authorities that could do something to prevent it from happening. However, it might be difficult as the Yanomami seems not as friendly as it was portrayed. From the kidnapping of a 12-year-old girl to the killings and wars just for more steel goods do not sound any "friendly" at all. That may be a reason for the anthropogists to treat them the way.

Nevertheless, this is dedicated book that is worth to read.
