	Richard E. Schultes, Ph.D. Biography -- Academy of Achievement
		Richard Evans Schultes, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of German immigrants.
		The close bonds Schultes forged with the native peoples during this period paid handsome dividends when he returned to purely scientific research at the conclusion of hostilities.His studies were no longer limited to rubber and poison research, he now sought and investigated any potentially useful plants.
		So Schultes recruited the past and present native peoples of Amazonia as his de facto field workers, taking their centuries of accumulated herb lore as the starting point for his own research.

		A cross between Indiana Jones and Timothy Leary, Harvard botanist Schultes explored the farthest reaches of Amazonia in the middle decades of the 20th century and discovered hundreds of new plant species, including a number of hallucinogenic plants that helped spark the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s.
		Schultes took hundreds of photographs of the northwest Amazon between 1941 and 1953, using a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, which, as Davis so astutely observes, required the photographer to hold the camera at waist height and gaze down into it, thus bowing to one's subject.
		This posture of respect is in keeping with Schultes' sense of reverence and wonder, a quality palpable in his striking fl-and-white photographs of Amazonians and their magnificent and mysterious world.
