"A paradigm-shifting book from Aboriginal scholar Tyson Yunkaporta, who brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to history, education, money, power, and sustainability--and offers a new template for living".

With the world in constant crisis, Yunkaporta shows us what can be gained by viewing global system through the lens of indigenous knowledge. By emphasizing community and connection over individualism and fragmentation-- and by cultivating respect for the land-- we can address the urgent challenges we face. Yunkaporta's paradigm will help us reimagine our relationship to sustainability, money, power, and education. He uses sand talk, honoring an Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge and ultimately, help us better understand the world. -- adapted from jacket.
