In \u003cem\u003eThe Wayfinders\u003c\/em\u003e, renowned anthropologist, winner of the prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize, and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Wade Davis leads us on a thrilling journey to celebrate the wisdom of the world's indigenous cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Polynesia we set sail with navigators whose ancestors settled the Pacific ten centuries before Christ. In the Amazon we meet the descendants of a true lost civilization, the Peoples of the Anaconda. In the Andes we discover that the earth really is alive, while in Australia we experience Dreamtime, the all-embracing philosophy of the first humans to walk out of Africa. We then travel to Nepal, where we encounter a wisdom hero, a Bodhisattva, who emerges from forty-five years of Buddhist retreat and solitude. And finally we settle in Borneo, where the last rainforest nomads struggle to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding the lessons of this journey will be our mission for the next century. For at risk is the human legacy -- a vast archive of knowledge and expertise, a catalogue of the imagination. Rediscovering a new appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit, as expressed by culture, is among the central challenges of our time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0887848427\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780887848421\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Davis, Wade\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: House of Anansi Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2009)","offer_id":46356564803781,"sku":"9780887848421","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780887848421.jpg?v=1781309322","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-wayfinders","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
