"Scientific treasure hunts in an inaccessible Central American rainforest yield surprises. Veteran science writer Markle describes the efforts of two types of expeditions to reveal secrets of La Mosquitia rainforest in Honduras. First, in 2015, documentary filmmaker Steve Elkins led a team deep into this wild, uninhabited world, prompted by persistent legends of a lost city and images on maps he'd commissioned using a technology known as lidar (light detection and ranging). They found boulders that might have been the foundations for buildings as well as statues and stone stools; there was no treasure but also no plastic trash. A year later, a second expedition, led by archaeologist Chris Fisher, one of the team members, found more artifacts; team members' ensuing health problems ended further efforts. In 2017, a group of 12 scientists from the U.S. nonprofit organization Conservation International, aided by Honduran soldiers, also explored the forest, investigating its ecology and later retrieving camera traps left behind. Throughout this engaging account, photos, mostly from these expeditions and the camera traps, reveal the remarkable finds of these teams, among them a giant carved boulder, a stool with 'the carved head of a supernatural-looking jaguar,' and a sculpted vulture. Photographs also document a variety of living plants and animals, including a live jaguar, and emphasize the inaccessibility and density of this 'pristine' wilderness. Markle provides clear explanations of the lidar mapping process, the camera traps, and the systematic exploration of the conservation team as well as a smoothly flowing story that carries readers along on these adventures. Team members present as White and Latine. An inviting introduction to an amazing place."--Kirkus Reviews, "In this well-written text, readers will step into an exciting field of discovery, following in the footsteps of pioneering scientists and archeologists who brought an ancient city to life in the twenty-first century."--Children's Literature, "This is an exciting jungle adventure--part archeological exploration, part biological conservation mission. Markle's latest first follows filmmaker Steve Elkins as his team searches for the lost city of the jaguar. They find archaeological treasures and the foundations of a great city. However, dangers abound in the untamed wilderness and discourage future exploration. But it is the untamed nature of this area that intrigues biologists. Two years after the archaeological exploration, Conservation International sends in a team to investigate the lost city. They discover new species, pristine water, and even rediscover a species scientists had believed to be lost. This text does a great job sharing archaeological and scientific information through a narrative adventure. This choice makes it a good resource for paired passage instruction as well as for developing disciplinary literacy. The book is driven by action-packed, gorgeous photographs throughout. The pages are not text heavy, and students will find the work accessible. They will benefit from the images, including maps and charts. These also feature captions to support understanding. Back matter includes a glossary, index, and suggested further reading. VERDICT An adventurous biology and archaeology book filled with beautiful images and impeccable design. Recommended."--School Library Journal, "An adventurous biology and archaeology book filled with beautiful images and impeccable design."--School Library Journal, "What could be more exciting than discovering a lost city? In this captivating book, readers follow in the footsteps of scientists searching for a city in Honduras that has been lost to time. Why would someone want to explore a site that had been lost for hundreds of years, a place filled with dangerous terrain and wildlife? Readers will learn everything about this site, from the history and background of the area to the process of mapping it with Lidar technology. While the site was too dangerous to explore fully, researchers gained a new understanding of what the world was like over five hundred years ago through artifacts, foundations of buildings, and other findings. In this well-written text, readers will step into an exciting field of discovery, following in the footsteps of pioneering scientists and archeologists who brought an ancient city to life in the twenty-first century. This book could be useful in social studies or science collections. Reviewer Rating: 5"--Children's Literature, "Markle provides clear explanations of the lidar mapping process, the camera traps, and the systematic exploration of the conservation team as well as a smoothly flowing story that carries readers along on these adventures. . . . An inviting introduction to an amazing place."--Kirkus Reviews

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
