Summary: In an age of fierce debate over globalization, environmental protection and saving endangered species we have overlooked the most valuable imperiled resource we have: the diversity of our own kind. The culture of humanity is at risk. Light at the Edge of the World follows National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and celebrated author Wade Davis to examine this distressing truth, tracking four indigenous cultures, each uniquely dedicated to the preservation of their customs in the face of modernization: Inuit, Nepali Buddhist, pan-Andean and Polynesian.
