Review: WHERE THE GODS REIGN - It’s been helpful and educational for all my art projects Review: Return to the NW desertcart with the world pioneering ethnobotanist - Dr. Richard Schultes - I ordered this after reading Wade Davis's amazing book -the Lost desertcart-; about the same area. Dr Schultes is a world renowned Harvard Botanist who traveled widely in the desertcart searching for new medicinal plants - he spent 12 years living and working among the native people. He captured the pathos and soul of the people that lived there with his wonderful black and white images. This book is a tribute not only to this epic journey but to the author as well. Dr Schultes became a legand amoung the local tribes . A man of the outside world yet his repectful and scholarly approach won the native's repect, admiraton and even affection. Even though I'm not a botanist or anthropologist I found the adventure well worth the price of admission. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #453,764 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Colombian History #1,219 in Cultural Anthropology (Books) #2,278 in Mental & Spiritual Healing | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 13 Reviews | ## Images ![Where the Gods Reign: Plants and Peoples of the Colombian Amazon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+nkAdBsQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WHERE THE GODS REIGN *by A***R on September 13, 2024* It’s been helpful and educational for all my art projects ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Return to the NW Amazon with the world pioneering ethnobotanist - Dr. Richard Schultes *by S***M on July 18, 2013* I ordered this after reading Wade Davis's amazing book -the Lost Amazon-; about the same area.

To say this was a gross miscategorization would be an understatement; what is contained within these pages is not various recepies for getting high, but a massive and thoughtful photographic documentation of the ways in which the indigenous peoples of the Colombian Amazon interact with and become an integral part of their surrounding environment. A must for anyone even remotely interested in botany and/or anthropology! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/10608081-where-the-gods-reign-plants-and-peoples-of-the-colombian](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/10608081-where-the-gods-reign-plants-and-peoples-of-the-colombian) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
