This review is from: Soul of the Tiger: Searching for Nature's Answers in Southeast Asia (Kolowalu Books) (Paperback)

I can't believe nobody has reviewed this book. I bought an old copy from a grab-box and I can't put it down. It offers a fascinating integrated glimpse of nature and human culture, in a most complex and fascinating blend. It has given me profound respect for the most "primitive" societies (former head-hunters) in the most exotic part of the world. And, a glimpse into the mystery of how "natural" society achieves a balance with its environment through the rituals of its culture.

The authors tell stories from their own experience, with a great deal of humor. It's fun to read right from the start, and has a lot to teach us about man's place on the wild earth.
