In SAND TALK, Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from an Indigenous perspective. He asks how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? This remarkable book provides a template for living. It's about how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It's about how we learn and how we remember. It's about talking to everybody and listening carefully. It's about finding different ways to look at things. SAND TALK is about everything from echidnas to evolution, cosmology to cooking, sex and science and spirits to Schrodinger's cat. Most of all it's about Indigenous thinking, and how it can save the world.
