520    In this exciting adventure mixed with amazing scientific 
       study, a young, exuberant explorer and geoscientist 
       journeys deep into the Amazon - where rivers boil and 
       legends come to life. When Andrš Ruzo was just a small boy
       in Peru, his grandfather told him the story of a 
       mysterious legend: There is a river, deep in the Amazon, 
       which boils as if a fire burns below it. Twelve years 
       later, Ruzo - now a geoscientist - hears his aunt mention 
       that she herself had visited this strange river. 
       Determined to discover if the boiling river is real, Ruzo 
       sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. What he finds 
       astounds him: In this long, wide, and winding river, the 
       waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small 
       animals that fall in are instantly cooked. As he studies 
       the river, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had 
       ever imaged. The Boiling River follows this young explorer
       as he navigates a tangle of competing interests - local 
       shamans, illegal cattle farmers and loggers, and oil 
       companies. This true account reads like a modern-day 
       adventure, complete with extraordinary characters, 
       captivating plot twists, and jaw-dropping details - 
       including a never-before-published account about this 
       incredible natural wonder. Ultimately, though, The Boiling
       River is about a man trying to understand the moral 
       obligation that comes with scientific discovery - to 
       protect a sacred site from misuse, neglect, and even his 
       own discovery.
