THIS BOOK IS MORE THAN A COFFEE-TABLE BOOK – it is a quiet yet urgent appeal to understand humanity's cultural diversity as our shared heritage. Over three decades, renowned photographer Michael Runkel has visited communities on every continent whose ways of life are under acute threat from climate change, globalisation and land dispossession. His photographs show people whose identity is inseparably bound up with landscape, ritual and community – portrayed with dignity, authenticity and at eye level. Generously designed chapters unfold into a visual journey spanning the rituals and communities of Africa, the nomads of the Siberian tundra, the body cultures of South and South-East Asia, the festivals of Oceania and the indigenous peoples of South America.

This book is an extraordinary photographic volume about indigenous cultures whose ways of life and traditions are threatened by climate change, land dispossession, and globalisation.
