Blends armchair travel with social examination

This blends armchair travel with social examination as author Prior provides a photographic documentation of 15 of the world' most individual tribes and ethic groups. This offers more visuals than most, providing close-ups of the people and their culture and offering insights into how tourism has changed some local customs and habits - and economics. The beautiful color photos make this an engaging title for both students of ethnic cultures and more casual browsers.
