Book Overview: One of the few South American nations not colonized by the Spanish, Brazil captivates the imagination with images of the samba-fueled Carnival, a World Cup dominating soccer team, and the endangered biosphere of the Amazon rainforest. But there is much more to Brazil, home of some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes, most isolated cultures, and most sophisticated cities.
