Klappentext
He concentrated on cultures of habitat, human communities with long histories of interacting with one particular kind of terrain and its wildlife.Here the author of The Desert Smells Like Rain has combined the eye of an ethnobiologist with chronicles from the Far Outside, that realm in which diverse natural habitats and indigenous cultures coexist. The result is a mosaic of essays that celebrates the vital connections between soul and space.
