The tribes -- First contact -- Looking back and ahead -- A tribal way of life -- Dangers of the modern world.
Summary:
Take a close up look at the lives of several of the hundreds of jungle tribes who share our planet with us in the pages of Jungle Tribes. Some of these tribes lead a primitive existence without the use of any modern technology, while others have assimilated into modern society. Come along with us to four different regions of the world--the Amazon River Basin, Borneo, New Guinea and Central Africa--where life is still wild and untamed! Jungle Tribes will introduce you to some of the world's most fascinating people--the jungle tribes of Acre (including a newly contacted tribe), the Aka tribe of the Congo, the Penan tribe of Borneo, and the uniquely interesting Huli Wigmen of New Guinea! Every book in the Into the World's Amazing Jungles series is a graphic and visual journey into the remaining rainforests of the world and their fascinating inhabitants--jungle tribes, wildlife, bugs, and vegetation. Each title is also filled with interesting and amazing facts and figures about the world's jungles, the colorful microcosms of the primitive and mysterious world of our ancestors.
