Vultures feeding on human bodies as they float down the Magdalena River in Colombia is an image shudder-inducing enough to be memorable had it occurred just once in the new book by Wade Davis, but it surfaces again and again throughout this troubling story, and it remains equally startling each time. The repetition, never gratuitous, is but one device Davis, a professor of anthropology at the University of British Columbia and author of 20 books, employs to great effect as he distills interviews, wrings out the history, and explores what a river can mean to a people and their land and why we should care.
