Both concise and highly informative, the text contains information on the all of the key aspects of Naron life, with longer sections devoted to folklore and language. Illustrations of typical Naron huts are also included. This is a fascinating volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in anthropology, linguistics, and hunter-gatherer societies.
