Description

Wade Davis's new and selected essays offer profound insight into his unique cultural perspective. In this timely collection, he explores varied topics such as the demonization of coca, the Great War and modernity, and the British conquest of Everest. Through an anthropological lens, Davis reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see wisdom in the middle way. His essays aspire to convey a perspective of promise and hope, one that challenges conventional thinking on climate change and seeks independent thought. Davis's writing is marked by his gift for saying the unsayable, and his refusal to embrace conventional wisdom on complex issues. This collection is a testament to his fearless exploration in both intellectual and physical realms.
