A Whole New World from those who discovered it.

"To The Ends of The Earth" by John Perkins is more than a book, it is also a poem. Every page is lucid and concise. There is no pretention in the way this book is written. The sole purpose of the book is to inform and enlighten. I truly feel as if this book brought me to a higher level of thinking. The magic of this book lies in the complexity of human nature and the simplicity of what we all are searching for. "To The Ends..." is about life in the raw, as it was for all of our ancestors and still is for some. Mr. Perkins has collected the photographs, from the Archives of the Museum of Natural History in New York, taken by the explorers of the Arctic, Congo, Gobi, and Siberia. Therefore, each page of text is accompanied by a photograph that serves as a window into the heart of the jungle/desert/tundra of the most untamed areas of the world. When reading this book one is transported to a different time and place, and one feels part of something real. I felt a connection to the people in this book, and felt an inexplicable lonliness when I had finnished it. Although it is about simple people, this book questions the fundaments of the human struggle on a cosmic level, so frequently overlooked in the world we live in today.This book is a treasure and a gift to all humanity.
