Best selling Massey Lecture – The Wayfinders – takes readers on a journey through time on a discovery of ancient wisdoms, languages and cultures.

Some are already extinct, others are quickly on their way out. It is estimated that 50% of the languages spoken today will disappear in our lifetime.

The Wayfinders is an enlightening, awe-inspiring and cautionary look at vanishing cultures and languages from one of the world’s most celebrated and distinguished anthropologists.

Praise for The Wayfinders:

The Wayfinders takes readers on a journey through time on a discovery of ancient wisdoms, languages and cultures.

GOOD READING

 

As an anthropologist, ethnographer and ethnobotanist, Davis is a lovely writer. His metaphors are lyrical and always helpful.
