Industry Reviews
Gr 3-6-Paeans to seven different cultures from various parts of the world. What these groups share is the threat of extinction or assimilation by more populous societies. Children may have heard of some of them, such as the Australian aborigine or the Inuit, but the Toda of India and the Ainu of Japan will probably be unfamiliar to most American readers. Kroll extols the virtues of these societies, noting their connections to the natural world and their peaceful, cooperative ways of life. In fact, the exaltation of traditional ways borders on the romantic. Collier-Morales's full-color illustrations reinforce this impression, with uniformly attractive people in various panoramas of scenic beauty. Inset maps enable readers to place each group within a larger geographic context. Small illustrations accompany brief explanations of clothing, tools, rituals, and other aspects of the cultures. Two pages of notes supply additional information. Alone, the book could serve as a starting point to encourage further research about one or more of the featured peoples. The volume might also lead to discussions about how expanding population, urban sprawl, and other factors disrupt the lives not only of animal species but also of human societies.-Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN
