In an era of high-tech and climate extremes, we are drowning in information while starving for wisdom.

With a foreword by anthropologist Wade Davis and spanning 20 countries from Peru to the Philippines, Tanzania to Iran, this book explores millennia-old human ingenuity on how to live in symbiosis with nature.
