"Colinvaux captures very well both the excitement and frustration that comes from long-term scientific endeavor."--Susanna Hecht, University of California, Los Angeles
--Susanna Hecht (02/21/2007)"Amazon Expeditions combines an autobiographical account of a distinguished ecologist's career with a charting of the course of an important debate about the relationship between biodiversity and climate change in Amazonia."--Stephen Nugent, Goldsmiths College, University of London
--Stephen Nugent (02/21/2007)"Amazon Expeditions is a tour-de-force, presenting the development of an interpretation of major importance for both theory and conservation. I find the evidence compelling."--Emily Southgate, Rutgers University
--Emily Southgate"There is a touch of Tolkien in Paul Colinvaux's engaging, masterly, story of his research career. A paradigm is destroyed and hypotheses are killed, ruthlessly or ruefully, as he seeks evidence of tropical climates in the Ice Age."--Peter Grant, Princeton University
--Peter Grant"An absorbing tale of scientific detection...a saga of muddy boots, microscopes and geology revealing the secret of Amazonia's ice-age climate...a revealing combined portrait of field and laboratory science at work."--Thomas E. Lovejoy, author of Climate Change and Biodiversity
--Tom Lovejoy"The story is part picaresque and part polemic, at once a tale of adventure and a firsthand account of the deconstruction of a 'beautiful' theory. . . .Colvinaux has given us a most entertaining behind-the-scenes account of his challenging quest and worthy accomplishments."--Paul Barker, American Scientist
