Title: Yesterday has much to tell
Description: There is a universality of the world's problems.  As a result slowly the charm and individuality of nations and cities fade into monotonous sameness.  This book captures much of the old romance and customs of places which time and circumstances are now rapidly altering.  

Are our standards of living best? Are the ideals that we expound and often insist that other people should adopt, the superior ones?  In this book the way that people live and think in remote areas of the world is explained.  The author compares them with the so-called "higher standards" in a fascinating way.  

Have you ever wondered what Baghdad is like; or what the inside of the Tibetan Lamasery is like; or just what acts an African witch doctor performs?  These are but a few of the many exotic subjects contained in the thirty chapters of this book.  

What is civilization? Is it high-rise buildings, computers, freeways, and television- or is there something more subtle  and less material that makes man civilized?  The author takes you to primitive people of the world and reveals how they often posses the qualities that really make man civilized.

This is not just another travel book but rather an evaluation of man in the very strata of his society and 
personal evolvement.  It offers no conclusion but rather presents facts for you to arrive at a personal conception.
