Untitled[edit]

This is not a personal biography per se.

This is a very unique account of life within the amazonian Indians.

Being the only known intimate account fo the life etc. of those tribes form teh inside. The book is cited in many scientific papers as a source for how life seems in this "natural" place. YechezkelZilber 20:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

See also, in [1] tha the page has recieved several citations in scientific papers. YechezkelZilber 20:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

And if a second edition after thirty years. An added double prefaces from known anthptrophological scholars. Being translated form Itallian twice.

Here [2] you can see that other books were written based on this true story.

Ettore Biocca, the writer, also published more volumes of technical data about the customs and life of Indians, apart form this biography like story YechezkelZilber 20:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Note: I will not have internet for a few hours now. So please if you disagree with my explanations, let me know. But bear with me. I will be home in about three hours. Thanks in advance YechezkelZilber 20:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The book is also cited by Judy Harris The Nurture Assumption as a source for life in the more natural environment than ours. YechezkelZilber 00:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

A reader's review of the book: [9] YechezkelZilber 02:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing[edit]

I gave the summary form the book itself.

You can see some reviews of the book on the Internet. Centainly none of them gives the whole story. YechezkelZilber 00:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

This article has yet to cite any sort of specific source. What book is this? Is it notable? Why is it notable? Why does it belong in Wikipedia? None of that information has been addressed. If that cannot be addressed, I will nominate the article for deletion. --Mhking 00:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did not I gave enough sources in the previous section here? YechezkelZilber 00:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Accidental Tag[edit]

I was tagging the page and accidentally included the one that says it's a new, unreviewed article. I am going to see if I can clean it up myself, but if someone more experienced is willing to take it on, feel free. In the meantime, I'll be doing an offline rewrite after I get the book and find more sources about it. I've seen hints in a quick search that there's more to it than mentioned here, for instance criticisms and challenges to the story, but I need to get to a library to check some of those or maybe find them on JSTOR if I have room for them on my free account.

One other thing. This is listed for WikiProject Venezuela, but it might be more accurate to put it under WikiProject Brazil, since that's where it takes place apparently. Pandarsson (talk) 01:06, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reworking of the article[edit]

I tried my best to revise the article (especially the plot summary), but there isn't much else I can do without the book. If anyone owns this book and would like to add to the article, I would greatly appreciate it. F0rteOC (talk) 01:20, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
