Description
Sorry friends: ebook not available for Kindle.
Join a real-life adventure—a scientific expedition to a remote area of the Honduran rainforest, suspected to be the ruins of the Lost City of the Monkey God. The team of scientists had only ten days to hike into the dense jungle, likely unvisited by humans in the past 500 years, and locate the archaeological site. In addition to searching for and finding incredible artifacts, scientists also uncovered an amazing, diverse ecosystem flourishing due to the lack of human influences. They recorded hundreds of different kinds of animals, including some new species as well as animals listed as endangered or previously believed to be extinct. Award-winning author Sandra Markle incorporates interviews and information from key scientists who took part in this ten-day expedition, showing how their discoveries led to new protections for this incredible place.

Once again, author Sandra Markle has provided readers with an exciting scientific adventure and a clear look at the process of scientific investigation. Amazing photographs and exciting narration follow the path of scientists exploring the Honduran Rain Forest to search for a possible "lost city." It is a challenging, even dangerous adventure and the scientists bravely and competently look for evidence of past human life, animal life and artifacts. Readers learn the skills of the group, the challenges they face, and the wonderful discoveries they make. This is a valuable look at the true nature of scientific investigation, and Sandra Markle captures the excitement, the challenges and the rewards perfectly.
