Abstract:
While tracking a lion with a Samburu headman, Jon Turk experiences people at their best and worst. Jon reveals how the stories we tell each other, and the stories spinning in our heads, can be moulded into innovation, love and co-operation - or harnessed to launch armies. Set in a high-adventure narrative on the unforgiving savannah, Turk explores the aboriginal wisdoms that endowed our Stone Age ancestors with the power to survive - and how, since then, myth, art, music, dance, and ceremony have often been hijacked and distorted within our urban, scientific, oil-soaked world.
