Crandell shares with readers her personal experiences with Panama's indigenous Emberá people. The text relates the realities of their daily lives in which, even with some influence from the modern world, they still do most everything by hand. The book is filled with intimate and enlightening photographs set against rainforest-green backgrounds. Glos.

This attractive photo-essay introduces a dozen or so villagers whose traditional work ways have endured for many centuries. Crandell's brief profiles of the Maya are tantalizing glimpses into their way of life as the text and handsomely framed pictures follow village activities from morning till night. The book is a fine tribute to the people and their work. A map is included. Glos.
