Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. What happens when global systems are viewed from an Indigenous perspective? How does it affect the way we see history, money, power and learning? Could it change the world? This remarkable book is about everything from echidnas to evolution, cosmology to cooking, sex and science and spirits to Schrödinger's cat. Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from an Indigenous perspective. He asks how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? Sand Talk provides a template for living. It's about how lines, symbols, and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It's about how we learn and how we remember. It's about talking to everybody and listening carefully. It's about finding different ways to look at things. Most of all, it's about Indigenous thinking, and how it can save the world. It's about how we learn and how we remember. It's about talking to everybody and listening carefully. It's about finding different ways to look at things. Most of all, it's about Indigenous thinking, and how it can save the world. It was certainty that drove a bulldozer through the oldest and deepest philosophical statement on earth at Burrup Peninsula. Sand Talk offers no certainties, and Tyson Yunkaporta is not a bulldozer driver. This is a book of cultural and philosophical intrigue.…
