The Lost City of Z is a great look at the historical expeditions that explored the Amazon, especially those of P.H. Fawcett and his search for Z, a city whose history is closely linked with the fabled land of El Dorado. This book is a fascinating look at the history, ecology, and anthropology of the region, while still being an entertaining and fascinating read. A perfect book for summer reading.
