289 pages including index and bibliography. Describes how the emergence and evolution of the Brazillian oil industry, from its tentative beginnings late in the nineteenth century to its maturity in 1970, were largely influenced by misinformed and manipulated public opinion. A study of how scarcity of capital and expertise, so characteristic of an underdeveloped country, and the nationalism equally characteristic of such countries in the mid-twentieth century, interacted with the facts of geology to produce a result unique to Brazil. The first attempt at an objective assessment of the results of Brazils's experience in the oil industry. Book clean and unmarked with light to moderate wear. Dust jacket remains attractive with average wear and two half-inch tears. Binding sound. Book

A picture of this book is available upon request by email. The first account of the seven expeditions of Fawcett in the jungles of Brazil and Bolivia between 1906 and 1925. On his eighth expedition, Fawcett disappeared with his companions in Brazil in 1925. There have been a number of attempts to solve the mystery of his disappearance, including one by Peter Fleming, which became the book, 'Brazilian Adventure'. The book contains much on nature and natives. Fawcett believed in the existence of ruins of Indian cities in the unmapped jungles of South America that would confirm the many Indian legends. Published the same year as the first London edition, which was entitled 'Exploration Fawcett' and was identical in all other respects, it has become a classic exploration account of the Amazon area.
