One River
By:Wade Davis
Published on 2010-05-11 by Simon and Schuster


The story of two generations of scientific explorers in South America—Richard Evans Schultes and his protégé Wade Davis—an epic tale of adventure and a compelling work of natural history. In 1941, Professor Richard Evan Schultes took a leave from Harvard and disappeared into the Amazon, where he spent the next twelve years mapping uncharted rivers and living among dozens of Indian tribes. In the 1970s, he sent two prize students, Tim Plowman and Wade Davis, to follow in his footsteps and unveil the botanical secrets of coca, the notorious source of cocaine, a sacred plant known to the Inca as the Divine Leaf of Immortality. A stunning account of adventure and discovery, betrayal and destruction, One River is a story of two generations of explorers drawn together by the transcendent knowledge of Indian peoples, the visionary realms of the shaman, and the extraordinary plants that sustain all life in a forest that once stood immense and inviolable.

Riva Ridge ~ Penny's First Champion By:Kate Chenery Tweedy,Leeanne Ladin Published on 2012-09-15 by The Forgotten Champion of Meadow Stable… He ran like a deer. But perhaps because he was so light and lithe, Riva Ridge did not pound his legacy into the public mind the way that his bold and brawny superstar stablemate, Secretariat, did. Though he saved The Meadow from the auction block and nearly won the Triple Crown in 1972, Riva lived his life under the enormous shadow of Secretariat. To celebrate 2012 as the fortieth anniversary of Riva’s Derby and Belmont victories, we wrote this book honoring “the forgotten champion” of Meadow Stable.

As his fans once chanted: ...
