Meg looked about. The cloud forest had enfolded her as a blossom closes with the coming of night...In the undergrowth to her side a large spotted form moved cautiously in harmony with Meg. Oddly, she felt a sense of calm. Slowly, Meg walked toward it. "Come to me," it said. "Let me show you all that the forest has to offer. Wampang will help." A giant blue butterfly appeared at her shoulder and whispered in her ear. "Wait," Meg said as it flew away. "What were you saying? I almost understood." "It is Niawa the jaguar," a human voice said and Meg started. "Wampang was trying to tell you that you should be careful with jaguars. They rule the forest." Meg O'Connell, a single mom with a rebellious teenage daughter, is suddenly snatched from her comfortable suburban life, drawn to the Peruvian Amazon by a quest she could never have imagined, the search for her sister's head. In a rattling peque-peque, chugging up a muddy river, Meg will find the only person who can possibly help her, an anguished gun toting Jesuit priest who barely clings to the basic tenets of the Catholic faith. Together, they will discover much more than either had ever intended.

Set amongst the beaming sunlight and glowering shadows of the Ecuadorian rain forest, TSANTSA (meaning shrunken head in the Jivaro Indian language) is the extraordinary tale of the battle between good and evil and the collision between two religions-Catholicism which commands, Thou Shalt Not Kill, and the Jivaro animist belief which cries out in a spirit voice, Thou Must.

"This ethnography is one of the classics in the field of South America. The Jivaro (Shuar) represent one of the most important and politically well-organized groups of South American Indians, and Harner's work, reissued here, will become the major introduction in English to these people for future students."--Brent Berlin, UC Berkeley "Harner, who bases his account upon extensive anthropological field work among the Jivaro, has written one of those rare books which appeal to both scholars and laymen. HIs book provides a solid overview of these freedom-loving people in a concise, readable form. Highly recommended. . . . "--G. Edward Evans, Library Journal "This thoroughly interesting book is based on fourteen months of field work among the Jivaro Indians of Eastern Ecuador. . . . Although the Jivaro have long been regarded as unique and even bizarre, being the most warlike people in the Americas, the author has succeeded in communicating an understanding of them as human beings with basic needs and responses like our own."--Gertrude E.

From the Afghan-Pakistan borderlands to the Sahara, images of danger depict a new world disorder on the global margins. With vivid detail, Ruben Andersson traverses this terrain to provide a startling new understanding of what is happening in remote "danger zones." Andersson takes aim at how Western states and international organizations conduct military, aid, and border interventions in a dangerously myopic fashion, further disconnecting the world's rich and poor. Risk-obsessed powers are helping to remap the world into zones of insecurity and danger, resulting in a vision of chaos crashing into fortified borders. Andersson contends that we must reconnect and snap out of this dangerous spiral, which affects us no matter where we are. Only by developing a new cartography of hope can we move beyond the political geography of fear that haunts us. From back cover.
