520			_aThe 500-year-old quest for gold in the Amazon continues to fuel an industry of corporate and independent prospectors. Intrigued by the Amazon gold industry's cultural, economic, and environmental impact, Herman follows miners into the rainforests of Guyana providing a narrative portrait of the rowdy prospectors who wear their earnings as rings and necklaces, and whose antiquated mining techniques are reminiscent of California's forty-niners.
