Customer Reviews

An amazingly prudent call for action

Most books of this type deal with Earth's disapperaring cultures in a "laundry list" fashion, shelving away race after race as if they were mere groceries. Not so with this outstanding volume - it delves deep into the society of these hardy societies and focuses on their everyday hardships. Life accounts bring the pages of this book to life with true emotions of fear and uncertainty, distress and need. A definite must-read for those whose views are a tad bit too narrow - I presume that's most of us.
