In \u003ci\u003eThe Wayfinders\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned anthropologist, winner of the prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize, and \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic\u003c\/i\u003e Explorer - in - Residence Wade Davis leads us on a thrilling journey to celebrate the wisdom of the world's indigenous cultures. In 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. Understanding 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wade Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459664825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459664821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ReadHowYouWant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Wade Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980423266559,"sku":"9781459664821","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_692dd9f1-12d1-4af0-b64d-5eacafabe02e.jpg?v=1683249831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wayfinders-wade-davis-9781459664821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
