About This Item
New York, N.Y.: Viking, the Penguin Group [0-670-82935-8] 1992. (hardcover) xvi, 398pp. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ and book both in exceptional condition. Clean, bright and tight throughout. Signed by internationally known Saskatchewan [Regina] sculptor, Vic Cicansky. Quarto. Oblong, heavy. This astonishing book asks what we have lost in our race toward the future, for some of the baggage we have cast off has proved to be essential:harmony with the natural world and with one another, humility and tolerance, and a sense of belonging. These values are the strengths of traditional cultures that once flourished and are now threatened by the tide of progress. David Mayberry-Lewis is a professor of anthropology at Harvard University and the founder and president of Cultural Survival, an organization devoted to helping tribal peoples control their own destinies..
