Wade Davis on CBC radio and on tour

[Leslie Saxon]

Wade Davis will be speaking on 'why ancient knowledge matters in the modern world' and publishing a book called 'The Wayfinders'. His tour and the book are part of the CBC Massey Lectures series. The lectures will be broadcast on the Ideas program (CBC) on 2-6 November 2009.

Here is a quote from the CBC publicity:
"In The Wayfinders, Wade Davis offers a gripping and enlightening account of this urgent crisis. He leads us on a fascinating tour through a handful of indigenous cultures, describing the worldviews they represent and reminding us of the encroaching danger to humankind's survival should they disappear."
