Even as this book goes to press, the last of the Kalahari Bushmen are being drawn irrevocably into the vortex of our civilization.
Aware of the urgency of the task, the author and photographers searched deep in the Kalahari thirstlands to find those few remaining Bushmen who still live as their forefathers have done for the past 20,000 years.
Their quest led them to a people who had never tried to conquer their environment, who had remained instead an integral part of it. The rhythms of the traditional Bushman are the rhythms of nature itself. The tempo of their lives fluctuates with its changes. It is integrated in their folklore, celebrated in their rituals and enshrined in their cosmology.
All those thousands of years ago our own forefathers chose the path of conquest. In a sense the author and photographers wanted to experience the alternative they had forsaken. Hardback with Dustcover-64 pages of text with a further 171 colour photographs. Near Fine.
