O que fez de um rio não catalogado pela ciência até o século XVII se tornar uma referência econômica nos meados dos séculos XIX e até a metade do século XX e desencadear a criação e urbanização de cidades ao longo de suas margens? A resposta está inserida no contexto deste livro sob o título Geografia Histórica de Carauary do Yuruá: 130 anos de mudança socioeconômica, territorial e ambiental. A referida obra faz um resgate histórico do Reconhecimento do Rio Juruá, a partir de uma missão pacificadora diplomática da Comissão Mista Brasileiro-Peruana, resultando em um relatório bem mais científico que diplomático, sobre o rio considerado o mais sinuoso do mundo. A obra é considerada uma coletânea de diferentes ciências como: antropologia, arqueologia, biogeografia, economia, geografia física, hidrografia, história, paleontologia, patologia, política, sociedade, cultura, território e meio ambiente, que por certo irá contribuir para o norteamento ou guia intelectual aos estudantes, professores e o público em geral que tenham disposição em expandir seus conhecimentos sobre o rio Juruá e o município e cidade de Carauari.

The report highlights that water charges need to operate in conjunction with an effective water regulatory regime and concludes with an Action Plan based on practical steps and recommendations for its implementation in the short, medium and long-term.
