Spirit of the Amazon: The Indigenous Tribes of the Xingu by Sue & Patrick Cunningham (Papadakis, £40, 228 pp)

In 2007, the authors were the first outsiders since 1887 to travel the full length of the Amazon’s 2,500 km and on this six-month epic journey visited 48 tribal villages. 

In this stunning book, they share the stories and photos of the rarely seen communities they met in the Xingu River basin in a call for the world to protect them, their lands, the forests and the rivers from destruction by the outside world.
