Ever wanted to experience the life of a hunter/gatherer woman? This splendid book about !Kung life will show it to you from the inside out. Anthropologist Marjorie Shostak lived among the !Kung people and recounts their live, particularly that of Nisa. There are pictures, but the wonder is in the telling of her story. There is much to learn here. I loved this book.
