As civilized man is reaching more and more into the far corners of the earth, primitive man is either being absorbed into the mainstream or dying out. With vivid text and scores of photographs, Roy Pinney shows how thrity-three tribes around the world are facing this alternative. In this volume the author presents an up-to-date survey of primitive man's culture from the Bushmen of South Africa to the Bedouins of the Sahara to the Yapese of the Pacific. He describes the American Navajos, who by adapting to modern ways have increased tenfold in the past one hundred years. This book captures in fascinating detail thirty-three fast-disappearing ways of life on six continents and in Oceania. Based on the latest ethnological and anthropological data and filled with lively, unusual photographs, this book is the only volume of its kind. Illustrated. 282 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
