Description
The People in the Trees In 1950, a young doctor embarked on an expedition to a remote island in search of a lost tribe. What he found was a group of forest dwellers who had developed a unique way of life, one that preserved the body but not the mind. This discovery would change the doctor's life forever, but at a terrible cost. As the doctor returned to America with his secret, he soon found great success, but his newfound wealth came with a heavy price. The islanders, who had been left behind, were forever changed by the doctor's actions. This thought-provoking novel explores the consequences of cultural collision and the true cost of scientific discovery. A powerful and thought-provoking story, The People in the Trees is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in anthropology, science, and the human condition.
