Or maybe the reverse. Just kidding. I took time to lurk a bit, and found about books. You may have good reviews first, or even open books themselves: The debunking handbook. Take a look and cook a tale. Panama Trees guide. Gosh, is there the same for in here? I don’t know any of them [...]

So I left you long enough with such an unsubtle question, where am I? Of course I decided to go to the place every plant biologist wish to visit in his/her/its life, Amazonia.
