Nomads of the Dawn: The Penan of the Borneo Rain Forest

Wade Davis

"The Penan are one of the remaining nomadic people of the rain forest, which is now under threat. The Endangered Peoples Project, a group of international volunteers, lived with the Penan intermittently in the early 1990s in an attempt to give the tribe a voice about their situation. As a result half of the text of the book consists of transcriptions from hours of taped interviews with them."--Adapted from Preface.
