The Edge of Extinction - Jules Pretty

Subtitles Travels with Enduring Peoples in Vanishing Lands.  Pretty can be a bit airy-fairy at times, especially when dealing with some of the less developed native groups.   Sometimes his narratives can be a bit unfocused and wander too much.  There are some interesting section, though - Tuva, Russia; Karelia, Finland; the marshes of East Anglia; Nitassinan, Labrador; Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana.  He sometimes has a touching way of presenting ways of life on the edge of extinction - no pity, but an evocation of a different way of being in the world that is far from modern mass consumer society, poignant in its imminent disappearance.
