The 168-page book includes more than 150 stunning wildlife and nature photos shot in the remote jungles of the Peruvian Amazon. Kirkpatrick worked on the project for almost 10 years  making many trips to Peru to compile the incredible photos captured in the book. Featured subjects include brilliant tropical birds  colorful poison dart frogs  venomous snakes  playful monkeys  vibrant jungle flowers  breathtaking rainforest landscapes  and panoramic shots of the mighty Amazon River. But Romancing the Rain is not a biological study or \"save the rain forest\" book. Instead  the concept behind the book is love. Using Kirkpatricks passion for the Amazon as an analogy for all kinds of relationships  Romancing the Rain explores the difference between a fleeting attraction based on a romanticized ideal  and an enduring love firmly grounded in reality. The text of Romancing the Rain is divided into four sections - Enchantment  Disenchantment  Work  and Longevity - which represent the four phases of romantic love. These phases apply to any kind of love - love between a man and a woman  a parent and a child  an individual and a career  or in this case  a person and a place. Text for Romancing the Rain was written by Kirkpatricks wife  author Marlo Carter Kirkpatrick  who accompanied her husband on several of his Amazon expeditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651735052341,"sku":"ByrdShop_0961935324","price":291.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780961935320.jpg?v=1781838678","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/romancing-the-rain-a-photographic-journey-into-the-heart-of-the-amazon-9780961935320","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
