description: This is the book that accompanied the television series Millennium, also by Maybury-Lewis. He argues that tribal peoples have not tried (&amp; failed) to be like us, but have actually chosen to live differently. By examining the roads they took that we did not, we can get a better insight into the choices we ourselves make, the price we pay for them, &amp; the possibility of modifying them. The book includes full-color photographic essays on the Dogon, Xavante, Aborigines, Makuna, Gabra, Wodaabe, Weyewa, Nyinba, Huichol, &amp; Navajo peoples.
