The front cover shows some of the outstanding beauty found in Columbia the Amazon and beyond - Wade writes with such passion and love of his fellow ethnobotanists as well as the intriguing history of the people who lived on the land before conquest. It’s an amazing book 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

One of the books
that feeds my mind

Having read ‘into the silence’
(Everest & WW1)I knew how
entirely wonderful a writer he was-this book brings us
more than one world (the Incas & many others)
The question is always do we
consider ourselves to be
Civilised

Dziś urodziny Wade’a Davisa (1953), kanadyjskiego antropologa i autora „Wąż i Tęcza”. Zanurzył się w obce kultury z pasją i szacunkiem — jest mistrzem opowieści o rdzennych społeczeństwach świata.

The world in which you were born is just one model of reality. Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you; they are unique manifestations of the human spirit.
