The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World - Davis, Wade

Clean, tight, unmarked; tiny nick to upper edge of front cover; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Anthropologists predict that fully 50% of the 7,000 languages spoken around the world will disappear within our lifetimes. And languages, stories, songs, and ways of seeing encoded in these voices? Wade Davis offers a gripping and enlightening account of this urgent crisis. He leads us on a fascinating tour through a handful of indigenous cultures, describing the worldviews they represent and reminding us of the encroaching danger to humankind's survival should they vanish.
