Author Ben Batchelder abandoned a cozy corporate career and, instead of returning to the U.S., moved deep into the interior of Brazil. Here he drives his two-wheel drive station wagon into the Amazon, on the notoriously dangerous BeleÌm-BrasiÌlia highway, and back along Brazil's endless Atlantic Coast, on roads few if any Brazilians brave. Hence the need for such a ferocious breed as Labrador: for protection. Along the way, humorous encounters with countless locals help him to plumb Brazilian culture and history, in so many aspects the flip-side of the American experience, and reveal how he fell in love with Brazil's beguiling warmth in the first place - along with black Labs."--Back cover. 600 10 $a Batchelder, Ben. 650 0 $a Americans $z Brazil $v Biography. 650 0 $a Intercultural communication $z Brazil. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Brazil $x History. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Civilization. 941 $a 1 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808032355.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B46AADEA9AD211E8AB5A4B6797128E48 994 $a C0 $b LVYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
