DESCRIPTION:John Hemming tells about three remarkable young English natural
 ists who went to the Amazon in the mid-nineteenth century - with no money o
 r education - and became some of the greatest botanists and collectors this
  country has ever produced: Henry Walter Bates\, Alfred Russel Wallace and 
 Richard Spruce. One of their many achievements was to bring back the cincho
 na tree with its malaria palliative quinine. Then came the amazing rubber b
 oom\, that filled Manaus and Iquitos with flamboyant millionaires but broug
 ht misery to seringueiros and Indians.
