Wade Davis has been called \"a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet and passionate defender of all of life'sdiversity.\" In Shadows in the Sun, he brings all thosegifts to bear on a fascinating examination of indigenous cultures andthe interactions between human societies and the natural world. Ranging from the British Columbian wilderness to the jungles of theAmazon and the polar ice of the Arctic Circle. Shadows in theSun is a testament to a world where spirits still stalk the landand seize the human heart. Its essays and stories, though distilledfrom travels in widely separated parts of the world, are fundamentallyabout landscape and character, the wisdom of lives drawn directly fromthe land, the hunger of those who seek to rediscover suchunderstanding, and the consequences of failure. As Davis explains, \"To know that other, vastly differentcultures exist is to remember that our world does not exist in someabsolute sense but rather is just one model of reality. The Penan inthe forests of Borneo, the Vodoun acolytes in Haiti, the jaguar Shamanof Venezuela, teach us that there are other options, otherpossibilities, other ways of thinking and interacting with theearth.\" Shadows in the Sun considers those possibilities, and explores their implications for our world. | Shadows in the Sun by Wade Davis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
